Cal Poly, Pomona. They made us actually build something before they
would give us a degree.

Most of what I have written has been on-the-fly for people who were in
trouble. So, no single posting has the complete story. Start with:
netscape.public.mozilla.os2 "What to do without an installer"
That gives the basic layout. The point is that once this is done
replacing one version with another only takes a few minutes. The
replacement version is not installed "over" anything. The application
part of Mozilla is replaced totally. All the data and setup stuff is
separate. I have been doing this since about version 0.95.

I sent you privately a couple of postings from the above.
