Important note for eCS MT 1.10.3.x
If you download ecsmt.zip and ecsutil.zip, make sure that you also get the
latest language dependent files, ss?45011.zip, ss?45012.zip, and
ss?45013.zip (for smp users only). The easiest way to accomplish this is
to download the 2 base files, unzip them into an empty directory, execute
ecsmt, select a drive, and then select the download updates and download
any SSI updates (dialog enhancer, etc.) that show up in the list.
I am getting quite a few messages concerning failures that are caused by
using the old versions of the language dependent files.

Warpstock-only room at the The County Line BBQ. http://www.countyline.com/index.html
Set in an old lake lodge, the County Line on the Lake is right on Bull
Creek just off Lake Austin, and has been well known for years as "The

redwood deck overlooking the water are a must.
We've ordered up a Texas-sized Cadillac platter for everyone - 5 different
meats, all genuine Texas style Barbeque. Baked beans, cole slaw and
potato salad, round out the menu. We're sorry, no subsitutions and there
is no vegetarian platter available. In addition we have live musical
entertainment planned.
Bus transportation, with a scenic drive from the Austin Renaissance hotel
to the County Line restaurant, and return are included in the price. We
require that everyone ride the bus to the event.
Seating for this event is very limited this year, so you may want to
purchase your ticket as soon as possible. Once we have reached our limit
no more tickets can be sold. To purchase your ticket to the Warpstock

WinWpi v0.21
WinWpi is a program that allows to list and unpack WarpIN (WPI) archives
on a DOS/Win32 system. The new version corrects a major bug of version
0.2.
Download: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=winwpi021
Note: The "bug" was nothing less than the fact that version 0.2 was UNABLE
to extract more than one single file from an archive (plus list the
content)! Since I didn't hear any complaints I conclude that the program
isn't being used so very much at all... But why then did I hear for a
certain while so many complaints about WPI being an "non-portable" archive
format?? ;-))
Well, it is ported to Win32, and whoever would like to port it to Linux or
whatever is friendly invited to take the included source code and ask me
any question he/she likes to ask! I do not have a Linux system, but I have
already developed for it in the past and I am ready to try fixing the one
or other portability problem that might arise.

WarpZip update
WarpZip has been updated and is now online.
Version 3.7 addresses download queues and how they are handled.
Previously, you could download files from the internet without having to
"save as" to your download directory but after WarpZip loaded the file
listing, it would let you close the program without saving a list of any
"unviewed" archives.
As of v3.7, any "unviewed" archives are saved for the next running of
WarpZip. For example: If you have downloaded and virus scanned 10
archives via the WarpZip Download Preprocessor but only had time to view
5 of the archives... WarpZip will now save the last 5 for viewing during
your next session.
As always, there is no charge for this update. Registered users are
invited to stop by the PillarSoft website and upgrade to the latest
version. New users are welcome to download and evaluate WarpZip as well!
WarpZip is available ($29) through BMT Micro (links available from the
PillarSoft website). The $99 PillarSoft Suite has also been updated to
include the latest version of WarpZip and is also available via BMT.
