It's not on me. :-(

There is another big change in OS/2 nobody noticed of it:

chkdsk!

Since WARP 4 FP5 / WARP3 FP35 chkdsk is changed to 32 bit. The algorytm ti's
working is significantly changed too. With small memory and big disks you have 
to change your config.sys AND to have a startup.cmd to become the drives
unlococked in case of a crash.

The only point you find information - and a lot of it - is the readme of each
fixpack.
