Are you sure that's the file? When I try to look at it, it appears
to be all binary. Is there any way to edit/modify it or at least view it?..."

i've never looked at it and i don't know how to edit it. i took microsoft's
'supporting windows 95' course and they said that io.sys includes:
himem.sys
emm386.exe
lastdrive=z
setver
prompt $p$g
path=c:\windows;c:\windows\command
files=?? something
...and a couple other things. i don't remember them all, but i'm sure it's
io.sys. i don't think it's supposed to be edited. if you include any of these
drivers or parameters in your config.sys or autoexec.bat, it will override
io.sys.
