Eeeeek!  This is BAD news!  What do those of us who are running
ESIX do?  (We can't access a "real" dos partition from VP/ix).
Actually, I guess i could install it on the C: drive. 

I'm wondering if the version of VP/ix (1.2?) that I have at home
is like the one at work on the Sun/386i's, where the C: drive
"grows" as needed to accomodate new stuff...
