The twelveth CSD takes The Graham Utilities for OS/2, V2.00 to V2.10.2.
NOTE: The application of this CSD requires a new/updated CSDINST.EXE.
This new CSD program (NewCSD16.Zip or NewCSD32.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 two methods of installation: manual and automatic.
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.
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 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
The telnet methods allows you to log onto the BBS. Enter:
Telnet bbs.warpspeed.com.au
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).
If you are using Warp 4, IBM did not supply the Update.Exe program, instead they
have created another program RSUInst.Exe (Remote Software Updates). 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.
Further instructions and information on RSU (and links to the IBM page to get it
all) can be found on the WarpSpeed Computers Updates page that can be accessed via
the following URL:
