I can only speak from an OS/2 POV, as I don't use eCS, in the event there
might be a difference. I have always been able to share my apps between
two different OS/2 systems. Many application don't even install themselves
"into" OS/2.

I suggest that you have a good ini/desktop backup of your system as it is
now running, and go ahead and just reinstall whatever apps require that
into you second system using the same directories. I would not presume to
'speak' for every application, but I would be surprised to find more than
one or two that would be upset at being "shared" like you want are
proposing.

If you find that one program that objects, then having it in two places
would seem more reasonable than replicating everything you have.
