Yep, I always see this when going from plain warp to any fixpack >=26.
You wont see it again.  Something to do with (I think) the upgrade in
win32s to V1.25

I've never had it remmed out on me.  Just the error as above.

Yeah, the tasklist thingo above.  Previously, if you got rid of this
in the autostart line Warp would ignore it and give you a tasklist
anyway.  As of FP26 this started working correctly for the first time.
So if its missing, no tasklist for you.

Cheers,
Craig
