At the moment, the multimedia apps that came with Warp seems to be broken, I'm not really sure why but I think a fixpack broke them. I am also looking to using USB devices, in particular a video conference camera, and I am hoping that USB support has been integrated into the Aurora release, instead of the ones currently provided in the online DDPK. I've also updated my OpenGL to try to fix a problem with EscapeGL with some of modules. I just want to be sure that I've applied the correct updates and I have done them correctly. I wish a one Fixpack would be released the encompasses all fixes including MPTS, TCP/IP, OpenGL etc. I guess the other reason why I am looking at Aurora as a client is that I am finding more and more reasons to not use OS/2. I've been using it since 1992 and would like to prolong it, since its still better than the alternative. Cheers, Randy ============= rolan@ibm.net
