That is the last.

I'd have to look inside those files to see what is what, but there might be
some duplication or old version as well as the latest version.  The large file
probably includes the library, which is essential but often is included on CD
apps, so it may not be needed just to upgrade.

I might add that although v.1.25b is the last patch, that does not mean that
you can not run v.1.30 or v.1.35 etc apps by using some other tricks such as
manually installing the prgm or letting the setup overwrite v.1.25b and then
before running the prgm re-install v.1.25b.

It was tossed without being truncated here, in spite of it being a rather long
msg.  So I assume it got truncated in transit.  Unless someone else has the
same problem I will not repost the last part.  Instead I have sent the whole
msg to you, Roy, via E-Mail.

BTW, I should also make a correction about the developer price for WSeB.
It might be available for D/L but it definitely comes on 7 of 13 CDs with the
$299 subscription:

You actually get a lot more than just WSeB for that $299 price, but the rest
is mostly developer tools.  I don't think that includes any T/S, but there is
the Aurora Mailing List and these OS/2 echoes for T/S.  Anyway that DevCon
$299 price is a lot less than the retail $1700.  And to be sure the Base
Server CD can be run as a stand-alone Warp5 OS.

As an official beta tester for Aurora, I'll comment that JFS and LVM are not
for the faint of heart.  I paid big $ for Graham Utilities to fix my mistake.
I didn't lose any data but I did lose some hair and some hair turned white.
And the day official testing was over was the day I went back to using Warp4.

     Thanks and Good Luck,        Andy Roberts
