Thouroughly reccomended, if a little expensive at $130. I have a copy if 
anyone would like to borrow it.

To illustrate: ningaui is now partitioned thus ...

Prmary		Boot Manager	2M
Primary		Win 95		120M
Primary		Winn 3.1	30M	(Hidden)
Extended	OS/2		368M
Extended	OS/2		32M	(Swap)

Note that Win 95/3.1 both think they're on the first primary partition. 
Handy.
