Subject: Win95 no more.

Well after struggling with Win95 and a stupid game that only ran under
Win95... I gave up. Gave the game to my brother... deleted Win95
(manually)... and reinstalled OD702. Then I decided to go with the GA
release so now I have DR702.

Well heres the deal. When I installed DR702 over the resysed MS6.02
partition, everything went fine. When I started peaking around at my
directories to see if any thing was hurt... I found one of my
directories was password protected. Why? I have no clue... went to OS/2,
copied the files to another directory, deleted the directory, recreated
the directory and copied everything back... nothing else seems messed up
like this.

So did OD/DR password protect a directory for me? That was nice of
him... it would have been nicer if he had given me the password so I
could have disabled it... C'est la vie. So I'm back to OD/DR now and no
more Win95 for me. I'll probably pass on Win98/99 too.

Oh well.
