Hi everbody
Regarding this Fixpack procedure I have some hints:

1) Most accurate CSF is 1.44, see here:

http://www.warpupdates.mynetcologne.de/english/inst_fixtool.html

2) WarpUP is a very good solution for updating WARP systems up to FP15
Since Indelible Blue is gone deal with here:

http://www.prismdataworks.com/warpup/

3) Another source for Fixpack Media is BMTmicro, more here:
http://www.bmtmicro.com/BMTCatalog/os2/fixpak.html

I suggest, since these FP media are really not expensive, =

every OS/2 Warp 4 Version 4(.00) user should have it as a MUSTHAVE !!!

It's worth the value and saves a lot of nerves and time ;-))

Good luck, svobi

Sorry for the delay. I run eCS 1.03 and 1.1. I do all of my updating =

via ECSMT. When I ran Warp, I used the Warpup CDs from Indelible Blue =

(now defunct). I have not installed any of these fixes manually, so I
am =

not the right person to ask on this topic.

Perhaps Steven can be of more help.
