Yes sir...I completely understand what you are describing above and that was
my
impression of how this was designed. This is why as I switched over to SMP
execution and encountered my problems I wanted to make sure that the FP6 level
of my software was correctly setup to debug at the SMP level as well. Glad to
hear this confirmation though.

As Steve Wendt pointed out in another post, CP2 is Convenience Pack2 and FP6
is
the latest, although unofficial fixpack available for this level.
My thinking behind this process is exactly as you pointed out. I am physically
re-doing the FP6 install, only picking up the SMP specific stuff.
The SRV_PROD.OS2 file contained in each FP 'disk' sub-directory contains the
mapping of the actual compressed files to where they need to go, along many
other things, such as version checks and so on. The script to decode this was
provided to me by Chuck McKinnis a few months back and really allows one to
understand what the heck the FP is trying to do.
Here is an example of the OS2.2 subdirectory (small sub-set of the report):

=== STOP ===
The @UNIDIR placeholder is then decoded to an appropriate disk location and
shows up in the 'Companion' column of the report. This is how I can tell what
compressed file belongs to where and in particular, which level of OS2. SMP vs
UNI is a great example as you can see above. I'm not quite sure what the
@WARP45U and @WARP45S are, but as best as I can tell they may reference the
UNI
and SMP enabled version of Warp4.5, which would effectively be an installation
like mine: CP2 on top of the regular Warp4 (but this is just a hypothesis).
So...at this point in time, I have ucompressed all the corresponding files and
have them sitting in their destination locations, this has been done for SMP
stuff ONLY. The curiosity arose becase I have no idea what the \
S2\INSTALL\SMP
location is used by, and as you pointed out, I have always looked at the
\OS2\SYSTEM\TRACE as the final destination for the TDF/TFF files.
Thanks!
