- If you're interested, you can in fact get a sort of
- read-only Superstore through an image, but it's not
- worth the effort. The person to ask is Charline Black,
- find her in the OS/2 conference on a RIME system--she
- claims to have done so.

- I've run chkdsk (OS/2) on my DRDOS partition a number of
- times with no problems (either under OS/2 or when booting
- to DRDOS). I remember getting some weird behavior back
- when I was using a lot of read-only and password'd files
- on my DRDOS partition, but I don't recal this being
- tied to chkdsk.
-
- Please describe this problem--I've been running OS/2 + DRDOS
- (Win3.1) for about 4 months w/o problem.
-
- I will say that in the interim using the DRDOS security
- feature (and dual boot) is acceptable until OS/2 implements
- something.
