What's the difference between dSync and rsync? If She understands it 
correct, rsync will backup everything it's told to backup, but can rsync 
and Dsync be setup so that it will backup everything on the system on 
for example Saturday and only backup changed cat/files the other days of 
the week? Backing up everything every day will take time. The new box 
have USB 3.0 but She haven't heard of any OS2 / eCs USB drivers that can 
handle USB 3.0, only USB 2.0. The team behind ArcaOS is developing USB 
3.0 drivers but haven't released them yet, and She don't have an active 
download license for it yet - it must be renewed when there is money 
available.


The newest FAT32 version is 19-09-25   5.31       1.203.904     74 
fat32-0.10-r378-os2.zip and is dated 2019-09-10, so it's a newer one 
than the version that you mentioned. Check with Netlabs if they have 
this new version available, it's free and you DON'T need a subscription 
to access their various software projects.

She uses Warpin because it's easier to do an install via it than doing 
it via WpView and then figure out where the stuff should go. As for the 
FAT32 driver and cache software, they go into the config.sys entirely, 
no need to call CACHEF32 from the startup.cmd file. Btw, do you feel 
that your keyboard is slow? Then She can tell you of a small gem of 
software namely ks.exe (freeware, have it first in the startup.cmd) and 
She invokes it with ks.exe 0 30 meaning zero delay and 30 repetitions 
per second as She have learned to type with ALL fingers without having 
to look at them - She began learning this mode of typeing while She was 
in the  2nd class in elementary school and contiued up to the 9th class 
where primary schools end here in Sweden. Didn't get any grade until She 
entered 7th grade and up. And this mode of typing have stood Her in good 
stead ever since. So if you are interested in this ks.exe program (less 
than 20kb in size) She can send it to you when the new profile is up and 
running.
