Please help me get these IAK objects back...

Greetings,

I was the victim of a power failure yesterday, and lost my Warp desktop.
Fortunately there was a recent archive, so I didn't have to totally start from
scratch, but this archive didn't include my IAK installation.  All the files
were still there though, so I have been busy recreating program objects.  The
only ones I haven't gotten back are the TelnetPM and WebExURL templates.

The telnet template is more important to me since I use it, and I don't want 
to reinstall the whole IAK.  I can get the WebExURL template back by 
reinstalling WE, but I am trying to learn REXX so I thought I'd ask if 
anyone has a script to recreate these objects.  I have one that I can use to 
recreate normal system objects like the shredder or drive objects, but I
don't know the name of the missing object classes, and I'm not sure how to 
"reference?" the dll's each uses.  All of the files are still on my system,
so if it's possible to create them, I'm in business.

Thanks in advance,

Doug

There is a utility in the main directory of tcpip called:

  iakfoder.cmd
  ifolder.cmd
  ifolder.exe

or something similar(dont know the proper name). Execute and voila.....

I got one reply on this, which prompted me to read the tcpip readme file.  
Instead of the old infohway.cmd file, there is a program called ifolder.exe in
the tcpip\bin folder that recreates the IAK objects.  The only one that didn't
come back was the WebExURL template, and I can get that back by reinstalling
Web Explorer.  

Nice to see that *someone* at IBM was thinking ahead.....
