I set up a nice os/2 diskette system using the drm images available
from the IBM ftp site. I didn't actually use the licensed drm feature that
they were designed for. Instead I used them upto the point of invoking
the physical image program. Instead of that I copied 4 files onto an additional
floppy and then copied the floppy into the ram disk that the drm disks
create. The 4 files are enough to run ordinary dsmc. They are -
DSMC EXE 654290 11-18-98 9:04a
DSMOM30 DLL 379316 11-18-98 7:37a
SOM DLL 88763 8-13-96 9:29a
UHPFS DLL 105488 7-25-97 11:54a
The 1st 2 are from the adsm client, the others are from somewhere
under os2.
