I'll be honest when I say I don't understand your need at all. Yes, a 
Warp5 client would be great, but your ideas that getting USB with 
Aurora would be better than getting the files off the DDPack  is just 
dumb, since they are likely to be the same drivers. Your having to 
keep up with all the fixes is not going to change just because you get
Aurora, after all, IBM is always releasing fixes for all of its 
software, and Aurora won't be any different. Further more, the only 
fixpack you ever really need to install is the latest one, whether 
your install is from last week or two years ago.

If you're desperation for a new client is just a need to always have 
something new to play with, then may I suggest Windows. There is 
always something new to play with there, and they're called bugs.

Good day, and good luck with your Aurora search.
