Although this may be a singular event on my system only,
I'd like to tell the OS/2 community to be cautious. After
installing JAVA 1.1.7 - the international version without
the unicode font,
javainrt.exe from
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/software/asd/java/en_us
and rebooting, the WarpCenter configuration file was
broken. For all those who have taken some time and effort
to personalize the WarpCenter, I'd recommend to take a
little more time and backup the files
[Bootdrive]:\os2\dll\scenter.cfg,
[Bootdrive]:\os2\dll\dock*.cfg (where WarpCenter stores the objects)
to another directory. If they really get damaged, just copy
them back over the original files and reboot.
[Moderator's note: I have heard no other reports of this
problem's occurring but readers will want to take note of
the steps required to backup their WarpCenter config files.]
