J.R.,

I've got the WPS version of bootAble now working. When you are ready, let me know, if
you need any help with bootAble.

Meanwhile, I have a couple of questions. Perhaps someone can help me with the
following:

1. I notice that I have to place the bootAble CD in my CD-ROM drive unit
in order for it to work. If I use the CD-R/CD-RW unit, my system stops with a trap! Does
anyone know why.

2. I have REXX support on the WPS CD version, but cannot get REXX
support on the commandline CD version. The file, BOS2REXX.exe, is on the
commandline CD, so that's not the problem. Answers on this question are greatly
appreciated

3. As the bootAble CD loads, I notice that it loads drivers and files both
from the S:\ drive (where the CD is) and from the Z:\ drive. I don't understand that
because Z:\ is the attached RSJ drive, which of course is not attached

4. After loading the OS to the WPS, the drive objects list files and
directories on S:\ and on Z:\. Again, I don't understand this, since RSJ is not attached.

Thanks for any help on this!!!!
