Where can She find it? Hobbes perhaps? Have an excellent and trustworthy 
ftp client here namely NFTP/2 both in FS and Windowed OS/2 version.

She must pony up $65 to renew the subscription on ArcaNoae's site so She 
can download drivers and ArcaOS itself. But can a new version of AHCI be 
found on the XEU site? It seems to be an self-extracting .EXE file, so 
should She expand it first and place it on a floppy or does it suffice 
to put the self-extracting file on a floppy so the install process will 
run it and install it?

Btw, durst She reindex the Sent folder on the old profile or wait after 
tha new profile is created and then reidex the Sent folder? She have 
sent mail but they don't show up in the Sent folder and the Settings for 
the mailer under the "Mail & Newsgroup" setting and there it's stated 
that a Sent mail should go to the Sent folder under the mail account, 
not to any local file. And when it comes to the Helper section in the 
Profile manager, can She just leave them out - the only one that She 
uses is for opening .pdf document via a lucide.cmd file which is global. 
She's an old command line hound and does most of the work via the 
cmdline, in this case 4os2 instead of the standard command.exe file. For 
example if you are in the y:sound dir and want to jump to another dir, 
for example g:\ftp\brides, just do a CDD brides and She lands there just 
fine. The 4os2 is still under developement and new versions appears now 
and then, but what is the latest version of 4OS2 and 4NT? Will have this 
in the Win7 on the new box.
