---------------------------------------------------------------------
The ninth CSD for The Graham Utilities for OS/2, V2 has been made available.
These CSD's are cumulative, i.e. you only need to download and keep the last
one.
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 retrieve 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 recognize 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).
(NEW: They also have HTTP links also!).
