Hello Glenn

thanks for the response.

I am reassured by your comments and the situation is ,as you may deduce,  that we 
run

Warp Server for e business

Warp 4.5  clients  Workstations 

the set up is very stable and we dont want to change... 

it is hard to fathom out where exactly IBM is going or thinking with respect to OS2 
and all I want to do is stay with this platform as long 
as possible. Our software is working well and I dont think will change in the next few 
years... (Accounts and Word processing) 

what is changing is the Internet use and here the problem are of course that 
eventually MS will have by default its own MS centric 
internet that is accessible only to MS IE users....!!

There is one comment about Opera by the way and that is that there does not 
appear to be any way of adding a  user security 
certificate that  may be sent to a user on a floppy or as a file  by email?   I need this 
facility to access pathology laboratory results on 
line  ( it is available via  IBM Browser and I presume Warpzilla)

I want to do the best  and most effecient and economical thing to let IBM that I want 
OS2 support to continue!!

so  the 64 thousand dollar question..... do I do this via SWC or e comm station?  Its 
not that I want new versions of  Warp I just want  to 
ensure that we are up to date with browsers, Java and any patches and fixes... for 
both Warp Server and the warp clients...

so any suggestions from the community are appreciated!

Hi Graham & Glenn,

FYI, Graham, if you purchase WiseManager from me or Orion Solution you
can have a completely managed, diskless workstation configuration.

This means you workstations can be deployed as fast as you can plug
them into the network!

If you can roll-out that configuration quickly, making improvements &
deploying it quickly is a real gain.

The reality is to build from scratch a completely configured
workstation or server  takes about 3 days, it includes things like:-
PDF printer
Netscape with all the plugins completely configured
Opera
Odin
WarpIN
MS Office file viewers
zip utilities
DTOC
SSH telnet
maintenance partition
lpd support
....

I'm currently trialing the above, will keep you posted when it is
available.

Regards,

Daryl  Pilkington
