I have tried all three. Checkini first, since that is what I am used to.
The last one (run with only /S) stopped with a message to check the log
file, but instead of ending, the WPS was hung. The mouse would still
move, but nothing else worked. I had to C-A-D. All recent runs of
CHECKINI have ended with the WPS hung in that same manner. I have tried
it with everything else shut down prior to the run.

I tried cleanini without parameters, but from looking at the log file it
created, it was going to delete hundreds of tiles from my hard drive!
Cleanini.log excerpt:

9A82 3A29 file 0 x None del F:\OS2\WPDSACTV.EXE
2D26 3A29 file 0 x None del F:\OS2\WPCONST.CMD

Is that what it is proposing to do?

I have had Unimaint for a long time, but never learned how to use it. :-(>
I tried some preliminary poking about, but it hung in several spots,
too. Again, I had to C-A-D.

I hate to say this, but maybe it's time to re-install eCS!
