Subject:  [VOICENWS] WarpIN and XWorkplace have both been updated to V0.9.8.

From: os2.org

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:

because my
             homepage will change in the near future. The Netlabs pages
will be
             updated shortly.


          Have fun!
