No.  The Bonus Pack is a collection of applications IBM included 
as a demonstration of the OS/2 WPS capabilities.  Fixpacks only 
update the base operating system (except of course for the 
special-purpose tcp/ip fixpacks and such) and do not touch the 
Bonus Pack stuff.  When you install a fixpack, it checks to see 
what version of OS/2 you are using and adjusts the installation 
accordingly.  Thus, Warp v3 "original" red spine and blue spine, 
Warp "Connect" red spine and blue spine and Warp Server all use 
the same fixpacks; the corrective service program figures out 
what you have installed and adjusts itself accordingly.
