Chris Graham announced today March 08 that an new CSD is available to update The Graham Utilities for OS/2 (the most complete bundle for Warp maintenance). The fourteenth CSD takes The Graham Utilities for OS/2, V2.00 to V2.10.4. NOTE: The application of this CSD requires a new/updated CSDINST.EXE. This new CSD program (NewCSD16.Zip, NewCSD32.Zip and NewCSDPP.Zip) can be found at:

http://www.warpspeed.com.au/u-warp.htm

To retrieve and install this CSD you have a number of options at your disposal. There are three methods of installation: RSU, Manual and Automatic. RSU is the preferred method, as it is all on autopilot.

RSU

===

RSU (or Remote Software Updates) is the newest method that IBM is using to distribute fixpacks. Using this method, you open a web page and select a RSU file by clicking on it. This downloads a small .RSU file to your browser, and if your web browser is correctly configured to recognise the MIME type "application/rsu", passes it onto RSUInst.Exe which then logs via FTP onto a specified server, downloads the file(s) and then runs any specified installation program.

The latest RSU install program, V1.83, is available from the URL below.

Further instructions and information on RSU (and links to the IBM page to get it all, as well as a local copy) can be found on the WarpSpeed Computers Updates page that can be accessed via the following URL:

MANUAL

======

The manual method involves downloading the CSD zip file, extracting it and then running the CSDInst.Exe program. The zip file also has a CMD file in it to do this for you (UPDINST.CMD).

To retrive the file, you have a number of options and methods available

to you. They are FTP, Gopher or Telnet.

To use FTP, log on using the following details:

Host ftp.warpspeed.com.au

User ID Updates

Password Updates

Make sure that your transfer mode is set to BINARY and then GET the appropriate file.

To Use Gopher, you can connect using one of two ports (70 or 77).

For example:

Gopher -p 70 -h updates.warpspeed.com.au

or

Gopher -p 77 -h updates.warpspeed.com.au

The telnet methods allows you to log onto the BBS. Enter:

Telnet bbs.warpspeed.com.au

AUTOMATIC

=========

The automatic method is to use the retrieve software updates program provided by IBM. There are two different versions of the retrieve software updates program. The first which was supplied with Warp 3 (not Warp 4), used a gopher server on port 77. If you are using Warp 3 then enter:

Update -h updates.warpspeed.com.au -t C:\GU20

(assuming that C:\GU20 was where you installed the utilities).

(These pages also have FTP links as well).
