Unimaint always puts them where they belong. I'm sure you can write
scripts that work at least as well.

I don't recall that it does. You can get almost full paths by zip from
the root directory:

cd \
zip -S bkup \os2\system\os2*.ini

Of course, you still have to remember to unzip from the root of the
correct drive.
