nos96309l2v030209coco3_cocosdc.dsk?  Yeah, 4+ megabytes, but I've no clue 
what is on it.  What is supposed to be on it?

My coco isn't running ATM, and neither is dw4.jar here as I am in the 
middle of trying to upgrade the OS on this box.  And the new kmail is 
hopelessly borked, won't even start, and kde folks have never seen that 
error message before.  So while it runs nice on 8G of dram & a 64 bit os, 
no mail.  So I'm trying to get dovecot working as an imap server, so I can 
then use claws-mail on any local machine to do email.  The docs suck, but 
what else is new?
