Thanks, svobi, I located that DFSee utility on Hobbes and I'll have a look
at it.

Powerquest's PQmagic 5.0 is what I used to resize and move the partition,
and I've used it extensively in the past without any problems, although I
only recently started using version 5.0. However it IS possible that I ran
Win95 scandisk against that partition (I think I've used scandisk in the
past without any problems).

It was obviously an OS/2-only problem, because the winos2 programs were able
to use the files in that partition even though OS/2 couldn't.

As you probably read in my prior post, I was able to get past the problem by
using Win95 to rename the ea data.sf file and then booting Warp4 from
diskettes to run chkdsk /f against the partition (that file apparently had
been preventing chkdsk /f from running).
