Post #114,116 by Andrew Grygus 8/17/03 9:19:48 PM Reply	I seem to remember they called it quits on 3.0 desktop . . . . at least a year ago, but I'm not sure. I dealt with 3.0 for only a few months before moving (myself and clients) to 4.0, and haven't watched it closely. WarpServer 3.0 is still supported (and supports the Warp 4 desktop). I understand they've told the banks support for 4.0 will end in 2006, but they may have to back off because the bank transition from OS/2 to Linux isn't going well. Many banks are opting for Windows instead because ATM makers are going to Windows. NCR is already Windows, but Dibold is still on OS/2 and doesn't know when they might change. Of course eComStation (Serenity) has a charter to continue OS/2 devlopment. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
Post #114,126 by jake123 8/17/03 9:56:32 PM Reply	There is a fixpack 43 now but you have to subscribe to software choice to get it. Basically there for customers running warp 3 in embedded roles that don't want to change... buying the software updates package is still cheaper for some people than transitioning to a later version of OS/2, with concomitant retesting and rewrites. There's also a fixpack 16 for warp 4, also only available via swc. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
Post #114,129 by Andrew Grygus 8/17/03 10:11:16 PM Reply	I stop at fixpack 12 for Warp 4 . . . . because with 13 and on, and eCS, DOS performance goes completely to hell, without a fix that I know of. Since all the OS/2 installations I deal with (including mine) run a mix of OS/2 and very important DOS apps, this is a really, really big problem. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
Post #114,202 by jake123 8/18/03 3:27:46 PM Reply	I dunno... I have eCS, and I ran fp15 for a long time, and the dos apps I have run fine. Wish I knew why they were behaving so badly for you... --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
Post #114,230 by Andrew Grygus 8/18/03 7:27:10 PM Reply	Were you running . . . . NetBEUI over TCP/IP? I haven't experimented with a stand-alone machine, perhaps I should just to see if that's why others report no problem. At two sites, with machines of various descriptions, we've had this problem. Fixpack through 12 work fine, anything beyond and DOS performance sucks rocks. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
