The whole tree. The tree, os2.ini and os2sys.ini are pretty much a
matched set. If you use WarpCenter, you should probably also restore
\os2\dll\dock*.* and \os2\dll\scenter.*.

Any backup utility should handle this.

Since you have Unimaint, do a Portable Desktop Backup before you restore.
Then you can restore any individual objects that you might want to
recover. The Portable Restore has problems with large restores, but it's
pretty good at restoring a couple of objects at a time.

Perhaps.

That's because I've been off doing personal R&D all day. :-) Sometime in
the last year I did something to break trap dumps on my main box. I had
one of my rare traps and it was odd enough that I really wanted to take a
dump. Oh well.

Use WPS -> Selective Object Settings. Drop your object of choice on the
window. Then use Set Object -> Set Object Styles to see what is
available.

prndrv.exe could care less about the NODELETE setting because is not a WPS
compliant application.
