WARNING!! Always use the fdisk command supplied with your version of
*inx when changing the active partition. Using the {PC MS}-DOS fdisk
can kill your *inx partition... 

One of my co-workers lost one, and then found the comment in the
documentation about not doing that.... I'm not certain of the exact
proceedures, since I just swap hard drives when I need DOS.
