This is a formal announcement of the release of The Graham Utilities
for OS/2, V2.1.

Probably the most exciting thing about this release is the
WPSoundPalette class, that finally gives people a method of managing
Warp 4's Sound Schemes. It also gives the same functionality to Warp
3 systems.

Don't forget about BMT Micro's (www.bmtmicro.com) special:

  buy _any_ other product at BMT, and get USD$10 off TGU/2!

The tenth CSD for The Graham Utilities for OS/2, V2 has been made
available. These CSD's are cumulative, ie you only need to download
and keep the last one.

The tenth CSD takes The Graham Utilities for OS/2, V2.00 to V2.10.

To retrieve and install this CSD you have a number of options
at your disposal. There are two methods of installation: manual and
automatic.

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

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).

If you are using Warp 4, IBM did not supply the Update.Exe program,
instead they have created another program RSUInst.Exe (Remote
Software Updates). 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.

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

http://www.warpspeed.com.au/updates.htm

(These pages also have FTP links as well).
