WarpIN is intended to become the new universal OS/2 installer. It is becoming more and more popular among OS/2 developers because of its flexibility and ease of use. It has full system configuration (CONFIG.SYS, WPS classes, WPS objects) and can fully undo all the changes to your system again.
V0.9.6 is mainly a maintenance release. Still, a few new features have been added, such as command-line extraction of archives using WIC.EXE.

2. XWorkplace V0.9.6 is out also.

XWorkplace is the most feature-rich freeware Workplace Shell enhancer on the planet, and even better, it is OpenSource. XWorkplace is the successor to my popular XFolder utility and has become a Netlabs project.
Among many other things, XWorkplace gives you the following features:

- Tons of folder enhancements, such as status bars, freely configurable context menus, global sort options, and much more.
- Extended file associations, which replace the illogical WPS associations by type and filter separately.
- Easy CONFIG.SYS management thru a WPS object.
- A trash can which supports all WPS delete operations.
- Replacement default icons.
- Improvements to startup and shutdown: boot logos, a replacement startup folder, a complete rewrite of the OS/2 shutdown sequence (including automatic reboot, APM power-off, and a shutdown folder).
- Mouse and keyboard enhancements, including sliding focus, sliding menus, global object hotkeys, folder hotkeys, mouse-button-3 scrolling.
- Enhanced multimedia, such as more system sounds.

V0.9.6 should fix the problems with WarpCenter and XShutdown. Besides, extended file associations work now.

To install XWorkplace, you also need the latest WarpIN.
See my homepage for detailed information.
WarpIN and XWorkplace are Netlabs projects, released under the GNU General Public Licence. The source code is available on the Netlabs CVS server. See
www.netlabs.org/nosa and my homepage for details.
We have created four mailing lists at www.egroups.com.

warpin-user
warpin-dev
xworkplace-user
xworkplace-dev

for WarpIn and XWorkplace users and developers, respectively. We are grateful for feedback on these mailing lists.

Note: If you have linked to the above address of my hompage, please update your links to point to www.netlabs.org instead, because my homepage will change in the near future.

Have fun!
