  24. There will be a backup copy of it (from install time) in \os2\install. You'd 
  25. lose all your changes, though. Do you have undelete turned on? If you do you 
  26. could boot from a floppy and undelete it...if not then I guess you know to 
  27. update that backup copy occasionally now.. :)
