I like DI-4 a lot. It's been very helpful to me, in past system migrations.
Guess I'll know soon if it _still_ has what it takes.

Never knew you could do that. How ? I thought PM was just for re-sizing
partitions or sliding them over.

No, there was a trick to getting around that. I have a fits-on-single-disk image
(as in DSKIMAGE util.) of 3.05 I could send you, from which you could
recreate the working one-disk 3.05. In fact, I've seen Tony using some pared-
down PM-6 from floppies.

Maybe so, but I'm inclined to go with what I know how to do, so long as it works.

In regard to the ECS partitions, I'd still like to know if UNIMAINT'S Portable
Restore requires that the drive letter assignments remain constant. If not, and the
Target location can be different, that would add a lot more flexibility for the next
migration.
