- I've noticed that one nice benefit of the WPSBKP shareware program is
- that it can be used to shrink the OS2SYS.ini file size, which also results
- in increased performance, especially on system initialization.
-
- WPSBKUP is shareware for backing up the workplace shell. When you lose
- settings in the shell, as I inevitably do, you can restore from the copy
- WPSBKUP made.
-
- Shrinking the ini files was not the reason WPSBKUP was created, but it
- has the benefit. When my ini files start growing I backup the shell and
- then restore it, according to the procedures in WPSBKUP. Then my ini
- files are small again.

- WARNING: You don't want to use the older WPSBKUP versions if you don't
- have to. There was a bug that would lose ini data if a part of the
- record in OS2SYS.ini grew to greater than 63K. The new version has fixed
- this problem. This version is 1.07. I just uploaded it to hobbes, so it's
- at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/uploads/wpsbkp7.zip (or some name very similar
- to that.) I suppose I culd also mail it to any who cannot ftp from that
- site.
