The result of my initially failed attempts to install a new printer
(OS/2 never made this procedure as straightforward as it ought to have
been) seems to be that a zero-length file called LPT2 got created in
the root of my Warp 4 partition. Its presence is creating a major
PITA for certain things like tape backups, so I've tried getting rid
of it, without success. Can't zap it from the Maintenance
Partition. Could try a diskette boot . . . but of course this is
still a protected name. UniMaint did not seem to offer any obvious
solution. I could install BLACK HOLE, which I had used back in Warp 3
days, if that would work. Any suggestions ?
