- Mine was initially only about 90k, but grew to 300k. I then wrote a
- quick program to copy the ini files, and found that os2.ini shrunk
- by about 10k, and os2sys.ini shrunk by about 210k. My program had made
- copies of all the content and stored them in a new directory. I then
- booted from floppy and replaced the originals with the copies. None
- of the settings I had made were lost, and I now have a small 100k os2sys.ini
- and a 200k os2.ini It appears that os2sys.ini grows much more rapidly
- than os2.ini, but that the both do grow with time.
