   Sadly, I haven't yet.  Then again, I mucked up my Warp 4 VM badly by   
   applying a fixpack the wrong way.  I would like to apply it via either   
   CD (via an ISO image mounted in the VM) or from the hard drive, but have   
   not really found any good step-by-step instructions as to how to go   
   about doing either of these or by using the RSU application (I keep   
   getting a message about a bad directory layout, but the archive on IBM's   
   site doesn't say exactly how things should be layed out.   
      
   Now if anyone has a working ISO of the latest OS/2 Warp 4 FixPack they   
   would not mind sending me, I can give them access to my FPT server   
   (running an OS/2 FTP server package called FtpServer by Peter Moylan).
