    Allows application of the FixPaks greater than #40 to OS/2 3.0 clients.

That is probably the same as what Pete Norloff announced:

B.CMD              5K 10-01-99
 Small REXX script that patches Warp 3.0
 to allow fixpaks greater than #40. Use at
 your own risk.

--- Excerpt comment from B.CMD from B100.ZIP ---
What version of OS/2 is this for?
---------------------------------
This script will run on ANY OS/2 system.  However, it is intended for Warp 3.0
Blue Spine.  The reason for the Blue Spine requirement is that there are
updates made to winos2 that MAY or MAY NOT work correctly on the Red Spine
distribution and REAL windows 3.1.

Now, if you have a Warp 3.0 Red Spine installation and you DON'T use WinOS2,
then you can go ahead and use this without problems...

What it does:
-------------
This rexx script patches the OS/2 system files syslevel.os2 and syslevel.mpm
to allow the application of FixPaks greater than #40.  These two files are
located at: \OS2\INSTALL\SYSLEVEL.OS2 and \MMOS2\INSTALL\SYSLEVEL.MPM.  These
are the ONLY two files that this script touches and before it does, backups
of the originals are made to: \OS2\INSTALL\SYSLEVEL.OS2.BACKUP and
\MMOS2\INSTALL\SYSLEVEL.MPM.BACKUP

How it does it:
---------------
By patching these two files, the CSF installer is fooled into thinking that
the target system is a LanServer 4.0 installation.
