[ltp] Resizing partitions ...

[Robert A. Munro]

Partition Magic:  It lets you build a standalone boot-disk for Win98
that can resize the FAT32 partition.  You can also allocate a shared
Data partition (if you don't mind redirecting the output under Win98
every time you save a MSOffice file).  Leave some growth space on C:.
