Home Page Publisher has been updated to version 2.1 Level B and the file is HPP210B.ZIP (4.3MB). I, @Macarlo, am registered user and recommend it (for OS/2 works is really the best). You can download it from BMT Micro, Inc.

HPP is an integrated WYSIWYG HTML Publisher and Editor/Browser. HomePage is a new product that will allow you to create or modify any HTML pages. Easy to use, it does not require knowledge of HTML tags. With HPP, you will be able to modify pages and images directly in your document. Select text and objects you want to change attributes of and make changes by simply clicking toolbars, etc... In short, HPP is a Web browser that offers you, as an extra, all the possibilities of a word processor. HomePage generates a high quality HTML code. HomePage Publisher Version 2.0 includes Frames support, Drag/Drop, Undo/Redo, Toolbar Designer, Dictionary, and more...

SYS2070 and Warp 4 Fixpak 3 (XR_M003).

There is a new FP3 kernel available from IBM that "fixes some SYS2070 failures seen after Warp 4 Fixpak 3 (XR_M003) is installed" (so IBM's description).

You can find it at :

ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v4warp/english-us/fp3krnl

IBM says that this kernel applies to any language.

Previous Level A.

Smart Publishing :

This feature allows your files to be uploaded to the web server. This feature is an "intelligent" feature, since you may ask HPP to remember the files already sent and not modified since then. Moreover, HPP will also remember the association Files/Server, so that you will be able to send your files to several servers.

HPP DBCS-enabled :

Languages such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, which contain more symbols than can be represented by 256 code points, require double-byte character sets. This feature allows Asian characters to be displayed.

Access to Extended Attributes :

Access to extended attributes and tables has been improved.

Optimization :

Some HPP features have been optimized, such as redrawing tables, typing characters in tables, etc...

Fonts :

Wingdings and Symbol fonts are now available for html pages.

Dictionaries.

This version allows to choose between several dictionaries, thanks to Dr. Gunter Hahn who built a German dictionary available at : Deutsch.zip.
