Sorry for the misquote, here's the correction: "Steven says I'm full of
holes but what the heck I have backups."

Harrumph. /Multipass scrolls the early fixes off the screen so you
can't see how many handles are deleted on each pass. I run single
passes multiple times so I can see the results of each pass. This is my
personal "full of holes" method.

I know it fails, I just don't understand why. And a reboot doesn't do
the "reset" which is really really really strange. I haven't fully
tested running UniMaint followed by Henk's ResetWPS; perhaps that will
work.

Perhaps UniMaint is making its corrections in some non-standard way.
Certainly if I ran an installation program and told it to de-install
something, I wouldn't want the stuff it removed from the OS2*.INI files
to reappear a few minutes later (I haven't tested this, maybe it does).

The handles which keep returning on my system are usually for either 1)
spool files which I've printed or 2) files which I've downloaded and
then deleted.
