- There's a utility on hobbes called SELDEL.CMD which will selectively delete
- the applets you no longer need. It might be useful in this sort of setting.
- It's especially nice for things like the Terminal applet, which has some 20
- DLLs hidden in OS2/APPS/DLL that can be deleted if you don't want to use
- it. (SELDEL is a VREXX script, so you'll need that to use it.)
