WarpCD v0.2.0 is avaiable for download. It's a CD-player which uses the well known WinAmp skins to change its appearance. This CD player uses the IOCtrl interface and therefore doesn't need MMOS2. The program is released under the GPL so full source is provided.

Feel free to upload it to Hobbes. I wasn't able to do so due to bad connections.

I have discovered that PowerQuest's DriveCopy 3.0 has a problem handling FAT Partitions with OS/2 EAs. It causes a fatal error which prevents DriveCopy from doing what its name implies.

I worked with PowerQuest's Tech Support for about 2 weeks and I even figured out what DriveCopy was doing wrong, so it ought to be fixed by the time they release v3.01. PowerQuest's final "fix" for my problem was to send me a copy of version 2.02. If you need to "upgrade" to another hard disk and your system includes any FAT partitions (HPFS copies fine), I suggest that you either find a copy of DriveCopy 2.02 or wait for version 3.01. Email if you need further information (like how to recover a copied partition after PQDC v3.0 crashes).

This file requires WarpIN from OS/2 Netlabs:

Due to the proliferation of Microsoft Outlook and Exchange mail servers, more and more mail is encapsulated into this format. The TNEF program allows one to unpack the attachments which were encapsulated into the TNEF attachment.
