ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/xworkplace/xwp-1-0-4.exe

or,

Bugfixes:

-An annoying benign error box sometimes appeared complaining about sessions not being started in the foreground. The 'error' is now ignored. Bug 635. Fixed by Paul Ratcliffe.

-Disabling the XWP Hook with an active XCenter Window List widget caused endless traps. Bug 526. Fixed by Paul Ratcliffe.

-Fixed folder status bar colours which defaulted to Black on Grey rather than following the settings from the currently selected scheme. Fixed by Paul Ratcliffe.

-XShutdown now closes Workarea folders first, preventing problems with dependent objects being closed first and thus not reopening when the WPS restarts. Bug 273.

-Choosing "Split view" as a view for a WPHost object caused a trap. Bug 530. Fixed by Paul Ratcliffe.

-XShutdown now disables HPFS's Lazy Writer automatically when shutting down the system. Bug 404. Fixed by Paul Ratcliffe.

-Upgrading from eWP to XWP now preserves eWP's settings rather than using the default XWP settings. Bug 644. Fixed by Paul Ratcliffe.

-The Cancel button on the System Startup dialog did nothing while processing Quick Open Folders. Bug 460. Fixed by Paul Ratcliffe.

-The Cancel button on the XShutdown Folder progress dialog caused a Shutdown to occur rather than cancelling the rest of the procedure. Bug 402. Fixed by Paul Ratcliffe.

-Using the XPager hotkeys to switch desktops didn't restart the "Flash to top" timer after the first switch. Fixed by Paul Ratcliffe.

-Default font was wrong for DBCS versions of OS/2. Bug 655. Fixed by Bart van Leeuwen.

-The GB and gB displays in folder status bars were too large by a factor of 1024 and 1000 respectively. Fixed by Paul Ratcliffe.

-Opening the context menu for a Drive object would generate an XWP exception beep, which was caused by an incompatibility with MCP FP5. Fixed by Paul Ratcliffe.

-Volume changes of System Sounds were not always reflected unless changing schemes or rebooting. Bug 31. Fixed by Bart van Leeuwen.

-On DBCS systems, the text in tooltips was truncated on the last character/word. Bug 676. Fixed by Bart van Leeuwen.

-Menu text was missing when enabling the "Include sticky toggle in system menus" option. This resulted in a "String resource 8000 not found in module 0x0" menu entry. Bug 389. Fixed by Bart van Leeuwen.

-"Display Recovery Choices at each system startup" flag and the associated timeout options were missing from Desktop Archives properties. Bug 471. Fixed by Bart van Leeuwen.

-NLS Settings are now fetched from the Locale object on MCP/ACP/ECS systems. Bug 614. Fixed by Bart van Leeuwen.
