I *need* space on my os/2 disk drives badly. Are there some files that
are installed with os/2 that I can safely delete? Is there a listing
anywhere of what files and .dll's are for what programs? How about a
program to see what program(s) use a particular .dll?

Here are some files that I think maybe could go:

\os2\cdfs.ifs
\os2\cdrom.sys
\os2\ibmint13.i13
\os2\keyb.com
\os2\os2dasd.dmd
\os2\os2scsi.dmd
\os2\viewdoc.exe - What's this do anyway?
\os2\bitmap\os2logo.bmp
\os2\dll\ucdfs.dll
\os2\mdos\vcdrom.sys
\os2\mdos\winos2\fixwp.exe - I don't own WP
\os2\mdos\winos2\system\hercules.drv
\os2\system\ucdfs.msg

Surely there must be plenty more hidden amongst those 32M of files that
OS/2 default installs?! I'll still be using Windows (some stuff) and I
use plenty of old DOS stuff. But I don't have a CDROM (and probably won't
anytime soon) and even if I need some of the files back, I can just
uncompress them from floppies, right?
