WarpIN and XWorkplace have both been updated to V0.9.14

2001-08-27 17:27:44 -- www.ecomstation.ru, Aliaksandr Dzeshchanka

WarpIN and XWorkplace have both been updated to V0.9.14.

1. WarpIN V0.9.14 has been released.

WarpIN is intended to become the new universal OS/2 installer. It is becoming more and more popular among OS/2 developers because of its flexibility and ease of use. It has full system configuration (CONFIG.SYS, WPS classes, WPS objects) and can fully undo all the changes to your system again.

V0.9.14 has more fixes and introduces self-installing executables support to finally solve the download problems many people have been having.

2. XWorkplace V0.9.14 is out also.

XWorkplace is the most feature-rich freeware Workplace Shell enhancer on the planet, and even better, it is OpenSource. XWorkplace is the successor to my popular XFolder utility and has become a Netlabs project.

For details, please refer to the download address below.

V0.9.14 again fixes quite a number of bugs. In addition, some new features were added.

Note: To install XWorkplace V0.9.14, you also need WarpIN V0.9.14 or higher, since XWorkplace now comes as a self-installing executable.

To get the new WarpIN and XWorkplace, please go to: http://www.xworkplace.org

WarpIN and XWorkplace are Netlabs projects, released under the GNU General Public Licence. The source code is available on the Netlabs CVS server. See www.netlabs.org/nosa and the above address for details.
