Although this may be a singular event on my system only, 
I'd like to tell the OS/2 community to be cautious. After 
installing JAVA 1.1.7 - the international version without 
the unicode font,

 javainrt.exe from
 ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/software/asd/java/en_us 

and rebooting, the WarpCenter configuration file was 
broken. For all those who have taken some time and effort 
to personalize the WarpCenter, I'd recommend to take a 
little more time and backup the files

[Bootdrive]:\os2\dll\scenter.cfg,
[Bootdrive]:\os2\dll\dock*.cfg (where WarpCenter stores the objects)

to another directory. If they really get damaged, just copy 
them back over the original files and reboot.

[Moderator's note: I have heard no other reports of this 
problem's occurring but readers will want to take note of 
the steps required to backup their WarpCenter config files.]
