Hi Jordan,
That is exactly what I did originally with Warp 4. I have Win 3.1 on a DOS
partition, installed Quicken, dialed in, got the upgrade, and later
transferred the new files to Winos2.

I only need net access to install the upgrade, so if I can do it under
OS/2, that would be better. If not, there is always DOS and Win 3.1. Ugh.
