[Moderator note:  This is version 5.12 Beta 2 and is a self executing
WarpIn (WPI) package.  Install identifies it as Build 24,  the same name
as the file that was on Netlabs FTP site briefly a few days ago, though
the file size is slightly different.  

From the installation:

"INSTALLATION
------------
Starting with beta 2, Opera for OS/2 doesn't need the Odin runtime to be
executed. All necessary files are packaged inside the main distribution,
except for WarpIN.

If you have Odin installed, it will not conflict with Opera installation
and will not be used by Opera.

The WPI archive has been created with WarpIn 0.9.14. If you have installed
an older version of WarpIN you must upgrate it.
WarpIN is a very easy to use installer/uninstaller for OS/2. Get it at
http://www.xworkplace.org or http://warpin.netlabs.org. You just have to
download the latest self-extracting archive and run it.

Afterwards you can simply run the self-extracting Opera for OS/2
distribution and WarpIN will start the installation.

If you are installing on the top of a previous installation, the opera.ini
file will not be updated with new settings. This could lead to
non-functional features available in this beta. 
Rename your opera.ini before going on, if you want to enable new
features."

and 

"FUNCTIONS
---------
New features:
- Printing
- Java 1.3
- OS/2 look&feel
- OS/2 drag&drop
- Instant messaging.

This release is missing:
- Opera Mail."

And finally, please don't send problem reports to me.  For where to report
problems and ask questions:
