At this point, I say it is what happens, as long as the restore program
works as designed. I have the files to prove it. :-)

I would say it's well beyond theoretically possible. I didn't do it here,
but I know just what to do, using ZtBold to move the files around. I
probably need to use xcopy to restore the Desktop tree because ZtBold does
not copy empty directories. I can use ZtBold's Graft to move the
driectory tree, but then I would lose the backup copy in
\os2\archives\current.

It does appear that Butch is offline for the moment. We will get to try
all this out when he returns.
