From the Symantec website regarding 16-bit MS-DOS subsystem errors:
"According to Microsoft technical support, these errors are linked to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control
\VirtualDeviceDrivers
This key has an VDD binary value that points to:
C:\progra~1\symantec\S32Evnt1.dll
If the VDD binary value is removed, then the 16-bit subsystem returns to normal and is functional.To solve this problem, you need to remove the VDD binary value first, and then update the Symevent files."
"Click Start > Run. The Run dialog box appears.
Type regedit and then click OK. The Registry Editor opens.
Navigate to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers
In the right pane, double-click the VDD value. The Edit Binary Value dialog box opens.
Select the contents of the Value data box, and then press Delete. There may be four zeros that cannot be deleted.
Click OK, and then Exit the Registry Editor."

Putting USB memory sticks in clothes dryers
I found the 128MB Microsoft Partner Program give away models are good for one trip through a delicate cycle. Further experimentation is inevitable, though. I'll keep you updated.

OS/2 startup options
Looking for the equivalent of the Windows F5 and F8 startup features in OS/2? I didn't think so...
Here they are anyway:
When white box and OS/2 name appear at start up press:
ALT - F1 for a recovery menu
ALT - F2 for a driver by driver blow by blow
At the recovery menu:
ESC to coninue normally
F2 for command line
F3 for fixing your graphics
F4 for a safemode type desktop
F5 for hardware detection
F6 for no hardware detection
0...3 for restore point type functions
During boot when the screen becomes a solid color:
CTRL-SHIFT-F1 to stop reloading the previous applications

Altigen 4.6 CDR Date and Time conversion
If dealing with the raw CDR data, you can convert the date and time fields like so:
DateAdd("s",[theAltigenDateField]-18000,"01/01/1970")
Using 18000 adjusts for daylight savings, 14400 does not.
DateAdd("s",[theAltigenDateField]-18000,"01/01/1970")
Using 18000 adjusts for daylight savings, 14400 does not.
