WarpIN and XWorkplace have both been updated to V0.9.6. Both updates
are mostly for bugfixing.

1. WarpIN V0.9.6 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.

V0.9.6 is mainly a maintenance release. Still, a few new features
have been added, such as command-line extraction of archives using
WIC.EXE.

2. XWorkplace V0.9.6 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.

V0.9.6 should fix the problems with WarpCenter and XShutdown.
Besides, extended file associations work now.

To install XWorkplace, you also need the latest WarpIN.

WarpIN and XWorkplace are Netlabs projects, released under the GNU
General Public Licence. The source code is available on the Netlabs
CVS server. See www.netlabs.org/nosa and my home page for details.

We have created four mailing lists at www.egroups.com:

-- warpin-user
-- warpin-dev
-- xworkplace-user
-- xworkplace-dev

for WarpIn and XWorkplace users and developers, respectively.

We are grateful for feedback on these mailing lists.

update your links to point to www.netlabs.org instead, because my
homepage will change in the near future.
