- When I get my copy of OS/2 2.1 beta (CD is in the mail) and I reformat
- my OS/2 partition, I will lose all the .dll and .ini files for the apps
- that I installed from OS/2 (W4W, etc) that install these files in the OS2
- directory. Is there an easy way to get these apps back up anding or do I
- need to reinstall these programs too?

- Thanks,
