 Try the full screen text editor called FTE "File text Editor" You can find

This editor does all kinds of control stuff including html ascii etc... It is

You probably meant "update" for the RGDU*.
How about using the date, but only the month/year part of the date?
RGI1096.*  -  full install, October 1996
RGU1096.*  -  update version, October 1996
or maybe,
RGI9610.*  -  full install, October 1996
the second method being better for file sorting purposes.
This would be awkward if there were more than one release per month on a
regular basis, but do we expect that to happen?  If there are uncommon
instances of one release-per-month, then the month counter could be
artificially incremented by one.

Write your reply.

assistant: Has anyone successfully used SIO.SYS on an OS/2 Warp Server SMP system?
I recently upgraded my system to a Supermicro P6DNF dual Pentium Pro-200
motherboard with two Pentium Pro-200 CPUs.  The system has been running
spectacularly under OS/2 Warp Connect for the last few weeks.  (With only one
of the cpu's doing anything, of course.)  Last night I upgraded the OS to
OS/2 Warp Server
Advanced SMP.
At boot time SIO.SYS locks up the system tight when it loads from CONFIG.SYS.
 SIO hangs the system before displaying any messages. I used ALT-F2 during
boot to get OS/2 to show what was loading at the time of the hang.  After the
hang, CAD doesn't work to
reboot.  The system has to be hard reset.  My first attempt was with my
original command line for 12 ports, including a Hayes ESP-II 8-port serial
card and some VMODEM ports.  However,
changing the SIO.SYS command line to just plain "C:\SIO\SIO.SYS (1) (2)" made
no difference.  Lockup city.
SIO.SYS works fine and dandy on the same hardware under Warp Connect. Also,
OS/2 Warp Server Advanced SMP works just fine and dandy unless I try to load
SIO.SYS in CONFIG.SYS.  I can't do without SIO both to support the Hayes card
and to provide my VMODEM ports.  Catch-22?  I'm feeling very low today.  :-(
