But setting SET MOZILLA_HOME=R:\MOZILLA.ORG\MOZILLA will screw up the 
locations for the FF profiles, these may be migrated at a later date, 
the mailer must be migrated first, therefore it's best to to set this 
statement locally in both the migration .cmd file and in the .cmd file 
that wil kick off the migrated mailer itself (not the SMPMW118 program, 
it will stay where it is now. She's a command line hound using 4OS2 as 
the command shell rather than the command.com that's shipped with os2 / 
eeCs.

OK, then She will let the migration process create this cat/file as it 
pleases.

No, but She suspects that the whole mozilla tree plus backup of the WSeB 
OS would be larger than 2Gib - She have a smal plugin in FF 10.O.2 and 
17..0.11esr that sets the history to 99999 days instead of the standard 
7 days without this plugin.

Btw, do you have any experience with WarpIN program? Her WarpIn in WSeB 
will not work, so can it be deinstalled and reinstalled without losing 
it's data base content? If not, then She can contact Netlabs to ask them 
for support of this vital program - She want to "hot up" WSeB with 
modern software like ACPI, AHCI, GenMac or MultiMac, the new FAT32 IFS, 
the latest DaniS506 package and perhaps other stuff so that it will 
function properly on the new box - so much is tied up with WSeB, so She 
wants to run it as the primary OS and also having eCs 2.1 and eCs 2.1 
Business Edition (got it for free plus the regkey by a guy at Mensys). 
And a decent backup program that's visible both in WSeB AND at least on 
of the eCs'es so She can do a restore if WSeB bombs so hard that only a 
restore of the latest fresh backup will cure it, doing it from one of 
the eCs'es. She hav learned the hard way why backup/restore is needed. 
When She worked on our first PC'es with a enormous 10MB HD, She had 
created a BASIC program to generate passwords and it was Friday 
afternoon and would go off my workday and dithered about doing a backup 
(using native DOS software or not to diskettes. She didn't do any 
backup, just shut down the PC and came back next Mondy only to discover 
that this particular PC was totally unbootable either from the HD or 
from a bootable DOS floppy. So the basic program had gone to the bit 
Heaven and was spurlos versenkt :-(
