Yeh, I, unh, guess so.  Whose idea was it to implement backwards-

that didn't have the potential to upset some of the users? :-)

Woohoo.  So it *only* has the potential to delete msdos.sys, config.sys,
autoexec.bat, boot.ini and ntldr, thus rendering the operating system
completely unbootable and probably unrecoverable.  Nice.
