Help! Where can I download FixPak 32 for OS/2 3.0 and FixPak wx02204?

I go to the web:

ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes

but I can not find them.

I install OS/2 Warp V3.0.

The FixPak v3.0 warp-FixPak-wx03807 only suits OS/2 Warp Connect V3.0、OS/2 Warp Server V3.0 GB、OS/2 Warp Server for SMP、OS/2 Warp Server GBK.

Who can tell me how I can do?

Hi,

you did not mention what language version you need... so I'm assuming US-English. In this case try
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v3.0warp/english-us/xr_w032/

Then, I don't understand what "wx02204" and "warp-FixPak-wx03807" should stand for. OK, we are nerds and zealots here, however not all of us understand IBMish or know all them codenames and fixpak-nickname-IDs by heart, so in order to be able to help you to the best solution possible:
Why don't you just simply tell us what you want to do in plain English? :)

Is it "I want to install Warp 3 and get the latest fixpaks on top" ?

Please let us know. ( Since I'm pretty sure that once you have the fixpaks, your next question almost automatically will be "how can I install these fixpaks from hard disk instead making floppies?"... :) )

On a side-note: I originally planned to point you to
www.warpupdates.mynetcologne.de
which I believe is one of the best and most comprehensive site regarding this topic.
Yet, to my astonishment, that site seems to not exist any more! Anyone here got news?
Did I miss something? Did the page contents got lost or migrated to someone else's realm?

Cheers,
Thomas

As I have said several times before in different threads go to http://www.os2mt.tk/ and get os2mt, install it and then use it to update your system.

It will work 99% of the time - there are some sites that have moved/closed - but then look on http://www.os2site.com/sw/index.html os2site and see what is there.

Is it GBK, and a Taiwanese version? or People's Republic of Chinese version?

Japanese version or Taiwanese and Chinese version does the method of a different name though the fix pack of English version WARP3 is a name like [xr_w032] or [xr_w040].
For instance, to externals of [WX03006] and [WX03807].
The final version of the fix pack is [WX03807], and the one [WX03006] ahead.
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v3.0warp/china-prc
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v3.0warp/china-tw

There seems to be no [WX02204] that becomes purchase though there are certainly [WX03006] and [WX03807].

However, even if [WX02204] is not applied, [WX03006] and [WX03807] might have been able to be introduced.
There is a precondition to apply the fix pack. It is a thing that should be WARP3.01

I do not understand WARP3 in your country is ver 3.0 or ver 3.01.
You think that it is wiser to confirm version by the ver command.
WARP3.01 is a minimum condition though applies [WX02204] of purchase, and applies [WX03006] and [WX03807] in addition.
I think that I can apply WX03006 if it is ver3.01.

However, because I am not using the system of China (system of chinese), it is not possible to declare, and you should apply neatly reading README of [WX03006].

Thank you for everyone who help me.

I am only a Chinese student.

I am not good for english.

So I do in plain English to say somethings.

I am a OS/2 FANS.

I use People's Republic of Chinese version P3.0.

I download FixPak wx03807 from ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v3.0warp/china-prc.

When I install the FixPak,it shows that it can not find those version such as OS/2 Warp Connect V3.0、OS/2 Warp Server V3.0 GB、OS/2 Warp Server for SMP、OS/2 Warp Server GBK.

Thank you for everyone who help me,again.

thomas, you have found the service install tool check system.

When service starts it checks the SYSLEVEL.OS2 for compatibility with the FixPak.  If they don't match you get the response you did.

There is a way round this that involves editing the SYSLEVEL.OS2, using the correct tool, so that it matches the one in the FixPak.  If you want to try this I will look through my archives for what is needed.

Hi,

I have downloaded the fixpak you mentioned above to see about the readme.
Unfortunately (for me :) ) it is in Chinese, so I can't help... did you go through the readmes?

Cheers,
Thomas

I don't have WARP SERVER v4 (WARP3's Krnl).  ???

Therefore, there is a possibility that the answer that you request cannot be done.

Fix of WARP SERVER v4 and WARP Connect in each directory of "os2" "mpts" "lan" and "TCPIP".

ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v3.0warp
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/lan/fixes
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/mpts/fixes
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/tcpip/fixes

You should investigate whether these directory's Fix are necessary for WARP3 Connect and WARP SEREVER v4.
Because the Fix to WARP4's MPTS, TCP/IP is included.

Perhaps, isn't Fix for which you are needed "xr_w041", "xr_w042" and "xr_w043"?

ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v3.0warp/english-us/xr_w042
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v3.0warp/english-us/xr_w043

"xr_w041" is not found in FTP of IBM. The number since 041 must have been Fix only for WARP SERVER though why it was not put was not understood.

However, I don't understand whether Fix of an English version can be applied to Chinese "OS/2 WARP SERVER" without trouble.

I hope.
You must peruse xr_w042 and 043 README, and apply by the self-responsibility.  :)
