22/08/00 (GUxx0234.CSD - CSD 16 - V2.10.6)
--------

The sixteenth CSD for The Graham Utilities for OS/2, V2 has been made
available. These CSD's are cumulative, ie you only need to download
and keep the last one.

The sixteenth CSD takes The Graham Utilities for OS/2, V2.00 to
V2.10.6.

NOTE: The application of this CSD requires a new/updated
CSDINST.EXE.
This new CSD program (NewCSD16.Zip, NewCSD32.Zip and
NewCSDPP.Zip) can be found at:

http://www.warpspeed.com.au/u-warp.htm

To retrieve and install this CSD you have a number of options at your
disposal. There are three methods of installation: RSU, Manual and
Automatic. RSU is the preferred method, as it is all on autopilot.


RSU
===

RSU (or Remote Software Updates) is the newest method that IBM is
using to distribute fixpacks. Using this method, you open a web page
and select a RSU file by clicking on it. This downloads a small .RSU
file to your browser, and if your web browser is correctly configured
to recognise the MIME type "application/rsu", passes it onto
RSUInst.Exe which then logs via FTP onto a specified server,
downloads the file(s) and then runs any specified installation
program.

The latest RSU install program, V1.94, is available from the URL
below.

Further instructions and information on RSU (and links to the IBM
page to get it all, as well as a local copy) can be found on the
WarpSpeed Computers Updates page that can be accessed via the
following URL:

http://www.warpspeed.com.au/u-warp.htm

MANUAL
======

The manual method involves downloading the CSD zip file, extracting
it and then running the CSDInst.Exe program. The zip file also has a
CMD file in it to do this for you (UPDINST.CMD).

To retrive the file, you have a number of options and methods
available to you. They are FTP, Gopher or Telnet.

FTP
---

To use FTP, log on using the following details:

Host ftp.warpspeed.com.au
User ID Updates
Password Updates

Make sure that your transfer mode is set to BINARY and then GET the
appropriate file.

To use a web browser for ftp, you may enter a URL of:

ftp://Updates:This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it./WarpSpeed/

Gopher
------

To Use Gopher, you can connect using one of two ports (70 or 77). For
example:

Gopher -p 70 -h updates.warpspeed.com.au

or

Gopher -p 77 -h updates.warpspeed.com.au

Telnet
------

The telnet methods allows you to log onto the BBS. Enter:

Telnet bbs.warpspeed.com.au

AUTOMATIC
=========

The automatic method is to use the retrieve software updates program
provided by IBM. There are two different versions of the retrieve
software updates program. The first which was supplied with Warp 3
(not Warp 4), used a gopher server on port 77. If you are using Warp
3 then enter:

Update -h updates.warpspeed.com.au -t C:GU20

(assuming that C:GU20 was where you installed the utilities).

(These pages also have FTP links as well).
