Subject:  [VOICENWS] eCS Fixtool 1.09.0 and other additions

From: mckinnisatattglobal.net 

eCS Fixtool 1.09.0 has been uploaded to the eComStation software  download
database.  In addition to fixing some problems, it provides a  means for
upgrading an eCS GA system to the equivalent of the IBM  Convenience
Package 2. 

Note that the fixtool is now packaged in 3 files, ecsupdt.zip containing
the fixtool executables, ecsutil containing the utilities used by the 
fixtool, and ssi4501.zip containing the files used to apply the updates 
from Serenity Systems.  Please read the ecsupdt.txt file for full 
details. 

Some highlights are:

1.  Supports the installation of IBM Convenience Package Fixpack 2. 2. 
Provides for updating of IBM Peer to the 8605 level using the UP08605
updates. 3.  Provides install support for TCP/IP 4.3.
4.  The larger updates, Fixpack 2 and the Peer update, are separated into
multiple files to facilitate downloading. 5.  Allows the application of
Java updates to a running system and substantially reduces the size of the
backup file. 6.  Updates the IBM supplied E.EXE to prevent writing of an
eof character ('1a'x) when saving a file. 7.  Modifies, if necessary,
Netscape parameters to prevent display of binary files in the browser. 8. 
Dialog Manager support is now dynamic and the dlgc001?.zip files are no
longer required. 9.  Includes a version of unzip.exe that handles zip
files compressed with the "shrink" method. 10.  Backs up any file to be
patched and retains the original timestamp on any patched file. 11  Tests
for and uses R/W LAN drives for work space, if appropriate.
