WarpIN and XWorkplace have both been updated to V0.9.8.

Note that XWorkplace and WarpIN V0.9.7 were never officially released, but since some people managed to get hold of them anyway, that version number was skipped to avoid confusion.

1. WarpIN V0.9.8 has been released.

WarpIN is intended to become the new universal OS/2 installer. It is becoming more and more popular among OS/2 developers because of its flexibility and ease of use. It has full system configuration (CONFIG.SYS, WPS classes, WPS objects) and can fully undo all the changes to your system again. V0.9.8 is mainly another maintenance release. This fixes bug with target paths and CONFIG.SYS manipulation.

2. XWorkplace V0.9.8 is out also.

XWorkplace is the most feature-rich freeware Workplace Shell enhancer on the planet, and even better, it is OpenSource. XWorkplace is the successor to my popular XFolder utility and has become a Netlabs project. Among many other things, XWorkplace gives you the following features:

Tons of folder enhancements, such as status bars, freely configurable context menus, global sort options, and much more.
Extended file associations, which replace the illogical WPS associations by type and filter separately.
Easy CONFIG.SYS management thru a WPS object.
A trash can which supports all WPS delete operations. Replacement default icons.
Improvements to startup and shutdown: boot logos, a replacement startup folder, a complete rewrite of the OS/2 shutdown sequence (including automatic reboot, APM power-off, and a shutdown folder).
Mouse and keyboard enhancements, including sliding focus, sliding menus, global object hotkeys, folder hotkeys, mouse-button-3 scrolling. Enhanced multimedia, such as more system sounds.

In addition, V0.9.8 now gives you the XCenter (a WarpCenter replacement) and a "font folder" for viewing, installing, and deinstalling fonts. Besides, PageMage is becoming really useable now. To install XWorkplace, you also need the latest WarpIN. See my homepage for detailed information and download addresses: http://www2.rz.hu-berlin.de/~h0444vnd/os2.htm WarpIN and XWorkplace are Netlabs projects, released under the GNU General Public Licence. The source code is available on the Netlabs CVS server. See and my homepage http://www.netlabs.org/nosa for details. We have created four mailing lists at http://www.egroups.com.

or WarpIn and XWorkplace users and developers, respectively. We are grateful for feedback on these mailing lists.

Note: If you have linked to the above address of my hompage, please update your links to point to www.netlabs.org instead, because my homepage will change in the near future. The Netlabs pages will be updated shortly.

Have fun!
