They provided those within about 15 seconds to my GMail address that I registered with. Once you have those two items in hand - there is no rush, and the same items can be used for all future installations elsewhere on your system(s) if required. It handles NTFS+FAT32+FAT16+EXT2+EXT3+ReiserFS - many functions - did you have a look at the URL in the later message I sent that illustrates what reviewer found when they checked it out in detail? Partition merging etc., included. quite a lot that DFSee can't do, and probably won't in the future. Nothing for the OS/2-eCS world per se., just assistance for those other bastard systems.

Hi Voytek, Maybe I misread it (it's hard with an eyepatch on!), and it's my first usage of the site - but have to agree with your final paragraph - bloatware! I installed it last night here on one disk, i'll move it to another system and try a second installation there and let you know.
