- I don't think it is 4OS2. I removed 4OS2 for a while and my os2sys.ini file
- still grows. The problem appear to be random as I cannot get any one activity
- that will make the file grow to be repeatable. I can use my machine one night
- and not see it grow but the next night I will see that it has grown again
- usually from 140K to 232K. Also the rate at which it grows is random. I was
- using 4OS2 before applying the SP with no growing os2sys.ini problem. I have also
- seen my os2.ini file grow but at a smaller rate.
