Hi again James. I think I may have misconstrued your comment. I would
agree that if your computer lets you boot from a CD then you can do what you
have said: create a bootable CD and work from a DOS environment. That
would, however, still leave the issue of what process one could then use to
re-establish the WIN98 operating system and programs and would not resolve
the issue of a consistent matching of long and short file name in order to
function in the WIN98 environment.

Regards,

...Dan
