I'm trying to convert all the wpi files on os2site to exe's to stop rouge robots slurping the lot, but having some problems. I found a copy of wpi2exe but no joy there, it requires IBM's rc.exe (Resource Compiler) but doesnt like my earlier version as it doesnt have an '-n' option. The latest rc.exe I have stackdumps under WSeB, and Warp v4.52. Next step, start looking at wic.exe from warpin but wic test.exe -a 1 md-0-1-9.wpi -U and wic test.exe -a 1 md-0-1-9.wpi -ustub.exe both give be errors about unable to find scripts when I run them for warp install. I might end up giving up and zipping each wpi on the site instead at this rate but would prefer to keep the benefits of the warpin installer as an exe file if possible.

Have you tried the rc shipped with eCS MT? The rc files are packaged in the ecsut2193.exe at www.ecomstation dot com, or I can ship them to you. -- Chuck McKinnis Covenant Solutions http://www.7cities dot net/~mckinnis/os2/ 505-286-3191 Overcome by jealousy, Data dismembers the Energizer Bunny ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
