Steven,

Incidently, I first attempted to only restore the C:\ directories that related to TCPIP and
networking back to level 4.0. That is, I attempted to restore:

C:\MPTN
C:\IBMCOM
C:\IBMLAN
C:\TCPIP

back to their existing status just before I updated the TCPIP stack. However, that did
not work. My system would not boot with this partial restore setup. I don't know why.
Fortunately, I saved a copy of all those files that I had replaced with the partial restore. I
copied those files back and then successfully booted my system.

Therefore, my only recourse was to reformat my hard drive and fully restore my system
to the backup that I made just before I began the TCPIP stack update. From that point I
would have to build my system back to the configuration it was (minus the TCPIP stack
update) before the full restore backwards. I created a REXX script that enabled me to
isolate those files and directories that changed between those 2 configuration points.
Therefore, I was able to use the printed output from the script to help me restore all
those files and directories (minus those that dealt with the stack update) to my
configuration before the full restore backwards.

If my partial restore trick (back to TCPIP 4.0) had worked, I would not have had to do all
of the above.
