HI Harry,

OK, UniMaint 5.10.23 says: "Nothing to repair or Display"
Checkini /C says error : cannot resolve the handle to a path.

It then goes back to a command prompt. That's where I am stuck. Can't get
beyond that error message.

>The only thing I can offer is to make sure that you use UniMaint first
>(the latest CSD; I'm using version 5.10.23; I think it's the latest).
>Perhaps you can cleanup enough of your OS2*.INI files with UniMaint,

>When you finally get the files clean, use all 3 programs, UniMaint,

>I don't know if any of this is helping you??
