- Michael, you wrote that program? It is great and i thank you. I just wish i had
- it a couple of months ago as well. I have been trying to get the AC: parameter
- working on my diskcache line in config.sys. No go. No matter how i install it,
- the system kicks it out with an "invalid parameter" message. But shiftrun has
- saved me literally hours of waiting. Thanks again.

- I run chkdsk from a separate os/2 partition in boot manager. Without wps or pm,
- the partition boots in about 7 or 8 seconds. there is a problem with the SP
- kernal which doesn't allow a ctrl-alt-del reset. You need to hit the hard
- reset. It takes a little longer to auto check the drive on boot up, but all in
- all it is much faster than floppies.
