First fix is "Windows 2000 Clients Use Multiple Connections When Mapping Drives to a Single Server", see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q302099 This will hopefully clear up the issue of Win2K clients eating up all workstation connections to a WSeB server. We will investigate this further. Second fix is "Stop 0x00000050 Error Message During Copy from OS/2 Clients", http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q281546 This issue occurs because a request from the client (SMB Move) is not handled correctly. SP3 is available for download at http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp3/default.asp +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ f) WarpIN and XWorkplace v0.9.20 have been released WarpIN and XWorkplace have both been updated to V0.9.20. WarpIN v0.9.20 fixes a few bugs that were still in V0.9.19, such as the XShadow breakage. In addition, this is the first attempt at getting WarpIN to do proper CID installs from the command line. XWorkplace v0.9.20 is the most feature-rich freeware Workplace Shell enhancer on the planet. Even though V0.9.19 was pretty well received, a few bugs were still to be fixed for V0.9.20. In addition, some new icon features like lazy icon loading, icon sharing, and shadow icons have been added. Besides, a bunch of cosmetic changes were made. As usual, be reminded that this is not guaranteed to be stable (as the version number indicates anyway). Note: To install XWorkplace, you also need WarpIN v0.9.14 or higher. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ g) DFSee v5.0 has been released Display File Systems (DFSee) is a generic partition and filesystem browser/analyser. DFSee supports partition-tables (FDISK, LVM), (V)FAT, FAT-32, HPFS-structures, some NTFS and JFS stuff and it might support different file-systems like EXT2 in the future. DFSee can be used - as a replacement for FDISK and partially LVM, - as an undelete program for HPFS and NTFS volumes - as an analysis and recovery tool for most used filesystems. - as a simple but powerfull binary (or HEX) display and edit tool DFSee v5.0 can be downloaded from http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/dfsee500.zip (will be moved to http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/disk/dfsee500.zip soon). DFSee will also be presented in detail at the next Warp Community Update Workshop (see section a). +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ h) Updated USB Basic Device Support Package (OHCI/UHCI/EHCI) A new version of the USB Basic Driver Package, including Support for USB 2.0 (EHCI), has been released on Device Driver Pak online.
