My own experience was disappointing. Although the installation went fast and smooth onto a "full" Warp 4 system on spare 6.4 GB drive, using QUICKFIX 1.2.1, the system crashed with a TRAP E shortly thereafter. Same as with FixPak-13. However, when it was installed on another spare 1.6 GB hard drive on a "bare" Warp 4 system, there were no apparent problems, which seems to indicate my "full" system may include one or more applications which aren't compatible with FixPak-14 in some way or other. I'll search for the culprit, but it may take a long time to pin it down. In the meantime, my two main systems continue to reliably purring along on the FixPak-12 level.
FixPak-14 image and readme files may be downloaded from: ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v4warp/english-us/xr_m014
FixTool 1.43 is also required. This is available at: ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/fixtool/english-us/cs_143.exe
FixPak-14 RSU files may be downloaded from: ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/rsu/xr_m014
Please note that Scott Garfinkle, the lead IBM developer, has posted several (cumulative) updates to FixPak-14, all named NEWFP14.ZIP. The most recent, dated August 7th, posted on the IBM Testcase site, should appear by August 8th at the above ftp Boulder site along with the image files.
Image file installation is made easier, as well as much faster, by use of QUICKFIX or FASTKICK. I prefer QUICKFIX because it provides CRC checking of the image files.
QF121.ZIP may be found and downloaded from hobbes.
You can find FASTKICK posted on the Warp Doctor website at http://www.warpdoctor.com/. Click on "Reference Library" and then on "FixPak Install." Then download FASTKICK143.
The WebSphere Application Server is a powerful tool that lets web developers build dynamic, secure web applications. Now sophisticated Java(TM)-based server-side web applications can be deployed on Warp Server for e-business, as well as many other platforms. Common, industry-standard programming interfaces make web development easier.

Personal Communications is IBM's family of host access software for PCs. The software, created for specific platforms, provides a rich set of 5250, 3270, and VT terminal emulation functions over a wide variety of network connections.
Version 4.3 for OS/2 Warp includes these important enhancements:
1. Host Access Class Library and Host Access Beans. These standard Java interfaces provide the same programming facilities as IBM's web-based host access software, Host On-Demand, as well as WebSphere Host Publisher. These interfaces can be used even if host connections are not via TCP/IP.
2. SSL Version 3.0 encryption support (including 168-bit encryption). Where permitted, Personal Communications Version 4.3 features enhanced encryption support for secure access to host systems via SSL-capable telnet gateways (such as IBM Communications Server).
3. Euro 2 character support.
Participation in the beta program is limited. To be considered for the beta program, please visit:

Host On-Demand is one of IBM's range of Java-based, web-delivered host access solutions. Host On-Demand users can access 3270, 5250, and VT terminal applications on a variety of host systems, using just about any Java-enabled web browser. Host On-Demand supports the broadest possible range of client and server platforms, including OS/2 Warp, WorkSpace On-Demand, and Warp Server for e-business.
