I've updated the news page (URL

) with the following :

=========
Fixpak 13 for OS/2 Warp 4 Re-released

On April 25, 2000 IBM OS/2 Fix Distribution re-released FixPak 13.

Diskette images can be found at
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v4warp/

Select the country you are interested in, then the Fixpak 13 (XR?M013)
entry. If there is none, then Fixpak 13 is not available for that
Country. It is expected that most countries will have versions released
within a
few weeks of the US release. Please check back often if there isn't one
for your country.

Software Updates enabled versions (RSU) can be found at
http://ps.boulder.ibm.com/pbin-usa-ps/getobj.pl?/pdocs-usa/softupd.html

This re-release fixes a number of problems detected in the initial
release of FP 13. For those of you whom do not wish to take down the
entire FP and re-install it, IBM has made a set of individual fixes that
you can apply to your system and bring it to the same level of code. It
is suggested that you install all fixes or re-install the FP.

Fixes Available.

All are available at URL
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v4warp/english-us/xr_m013/

The file, REXXCRT.ZIP, is being made available for customers using
Object REXX and have encountered Object REXX problems after
installing
FixPak 13. Install instructions are in the ZIP file.

The file, PCMCIATB.ZIP, is the PCMCIA device table. D/L file and
see
PCMCIATB.TXT in ZIP file for installation instructions.

The file, TRAP6FIX.ZIP, the fix for non-Pentium systems that trap 6
on
booting, D/L ZIP file and see READ.ME file for installation
instructions.

The file, UNDELETE.ZIP a replacement UNDELETE Command for FP 13.
D/L
ZIP file and see UNDELETE.TXT file for installation instructions.

The file, PMMERGE.ZIP, the fix for blank PMFAX pages and other
programs displaying blank objects. See PMMERGE.TXT in ZIP file for
install instructions. This fix may cause other problems, such as
faded icons or corrupted icon for some applications or icon sizes.
IBM is
working on this problem. A fix might be posted if it becomes
available.

This FixPak still has a few problems IBM is actively working on and will
post new fixes when available.

They are :

Suspend/Resume hangs on some Portables (not all). Please see the
README.1ST FixPak file for details and how to circumvent this
problem.

Inability to create Utility Diskettes. This function doesn't work.
You will
need to use your old Utility Diskettes or the CD Install diskettes
(F3 to
get to a Command prompt). If you have a set already, they will also
work, but be aware that due to the merging of the Warp 4 kernel
with
the WSeB kernel, the new external commands will not work under the
old kernel. You must use the external commands on
the diskette when booted from old Utility diskettes.
