Butch,

By the way, deleting files in an attempt to uninstall a program is
usually a bad idea. The program installer may have updated the OS2.INI
file and/or installed some new OS/2 classes on your system. It's always
a good idea to use the uninstaller.

I checked and you do uninstall RSJ from its install program. It's a bar
with "Uninstall" in red lettering. Are you sure it (the bar) is none
functional?

If you decide to uninstall, I have 2 suggestions for you and in the
following order:

1. Maybe your RSJ installation did not proceed to full completion (for
some reason). Try reinstalling it to get everything functional. But
first, before you do, get a good working copy of your CONFIG.SYS that
does not have any of the RSJ lines and RSJ changes in it. Revert back to
that CONFIG.SYS, if your reinstall of RSJ causes you problems (like a
system lockup). Now, with a completed full install, you should be able
to use the "Uninstall" bar on the install program

2. If you have UniMaint, use it's uninstall facilities to uninstall
RSJ. Do this, if idea # 1, above, fails.

Finally, if you reinstall (idea #1) and everything becomes functional,
then you do not have to uninstall it.
