MOZFOLD.CMD is an existing file. Written by IBM. It works. Don't mess
with it.

You do not update a version of Warpzilla, you replace it.

Create directories and add to CONFIG.SYS:
"SET MOZILLA_HOME=X:\MOZPROFILES
SET MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=X:\MOZPROFILES\PLUGINS"

Your "data"--prefs, bookmarks, address, email etc.--doesn't change.

With these all that is necessary to replace one version with another is:

Create X:\MOZTEMP --this is a place to put the new zip files plus stuff
that you need to copy from a previous version.

Create X:\MOZPROFILES

Delete X:\MOZILLA

Unzip MOZILLA dir contained in new distribution zip to X:\MOZILLA
--hint; make life easy, use FC/2 or some such.

Copy whatever is in the new plugins dir to X:\MOZPROFILES\PLUGINS

Copy saved copy of bitmap splash screen to X:\MOZILLA

Copy whatever extra stuff--eg libc04.zip (libco4.dll, gcc.dll)--is
necessary to X:\MOZILLA

Activate the desktop object to run Mozilla; the object does not change
when you replace a version. If you don't have GOOD desktop objects from
a previous version, delete all existing objects, copy MOZFOLD.CMD to
X:\MOZILLA, and run. On my desktop I moved the resulting folder to the
connections folder. If you run MOZFOLD.CMD again it refreshes the
Mozilla folder but leaves it wherever you put it.

Go-to File\Open and chose any desired xpi files--any one know how to
carry them over?

Go-To Mozilla\Edit\Preferences\Advanced\Cache to select desired cache
location.
Go-To Email\Edit\Mail & News...\Server Settings to select desired mail
location; similar for news.

Spend some time on other prefs. They will now stay as you set them thru
version changes.
