Not entirely true. The point of the article at:

<http://www.scoug.com/os24u/2003/scoug312.mrkia.html>

is to explain how to do the switch without losing your personal data,
regardless of where you have it stored.

This is why the article uses a different procedure to delete the VAC
specific parts of the installation.

>E:\OS2\WB\Moz contains the EXECs and
>D:\OS2\WB\Moz\Users\MyDomain\MyName\1abc2xyz contains the DATA !!!

It has been possible to put the user data elsewhere for a long time using
MOZ_PROFILES. It definitely makes installing new versions easier if you
have been using this, but it is not a requirement.

This has never been a problem using the Mr. KIA procedure. I too have not
been keeping up with the daily builds lately because I've been focusing on
other projects not because the upgrades cause data problems.

Steven
