Did the research and found that inputting A:\FPINST Warp4 leads to:

if %1. == warp4. goto warp4
:warp4 @Echo Starting FSERVICE ...fservice /r:response.wp4
goto end

I put together this file, response.fil on a:. I know a:\fservice
/r:response.fil must be run to make it usable.

:SOURCE A:\
:FLAGS REPLACE_PROTECTED
:SERVICE
:SYSLEVEL C:\OS2\INSTALL\SYSLEVEL.OS2

The second line allows a chance to see what files,if any, are being back
dated since I will replace newer files if any, that appear.

The last line should restrict updating to my boot drive, c:, so I should
not need to input CSFDRIVEAPPLY=C before I run FPINST but I will rename
the syslevel.os2 file on my maintenance partition just to be sure it is
not changed. I don't think I need ARCHUTIL OFF A: since there is no
archive line in the response file. The CSF 1.42 read me says MPTS fixes
are not archived too.

Changes? Comments?

Thanks.

Happy holidays,

Jack
