These ZIPs contains fixes since the release of xr_e002/xr_m015/mcp/acp:

File versions :

WSeb/ACP SMP (D is debug version)
SMP0111.ZIP
SMP0111D.ZIP

WSeB/ACP Uni/MCP (D is debug version)
UNI0111.ZIP
UNI0111D.ZIP

Warp4 (D is debug version)
W40111.ZIP
W40111D.ZIP

New function:
    1) Support for >64m memory using int15 func e820. Note, this support is
       enabled ONLY for Intel Pentium Pro or later, or non-Intel Pentium-class
       machines. This is done in an effort to prevent problems on older PCs.
    2) The presence of \os2\boot\os2norev.$$$ suppresses the display of
       internal revision during boot.

Bug Fixes:
    JR13335: Some VDMs won't run, complaining of too-long command lines
    JR15194: XCOPY fails with SYS1186 or SYS1192 on (at least) MO drives
    JR15038: Trap 8 in h_DeviceHelpDM running an app from a tcpbeui drive
    JR15229: Files left open after ERROR_TOO_MANY_OPEN_FILES returned to app
    PJ27676: Causes hangs on some systems running UNI or W4 kernels
    PJ27554: Hang or (on allstrict) trap 3 on SMP (only) during beeps
    PJ27678: SMP kernels could not be RIPL-booted. As part of this, there is
             a new config.sys parameter I13PAGES= available. Adding I13PAGES=1
             to config.sys (note, no SET) reduces the memory usage of the mini
             VDM processes used by ibm1s506.add and the GRADD drivers. This
             becomes important in RIPL-boot situations.
    PJ27677: SMP systems hang with multiple threads of same process
             entering a critical section (affects ADSM client)


Following are rough instructions for applying the os2krnl fix:
In the directory from which you boot (C:\ or d:\ or whatever), type these
commands. Note that os2krnlr should have come with this file.

1. attrib -r -s -h os2krnl
2. attrib -r -s -h os2ldr
3. copy os2krnl os2krnl.sav
4. copy os2ldr os2ldr.sav
5. copy \os2\system\trace\*.tdf  \save       (or wherever)
5. unzip -o xxx.zip

Trace files (*.tdf)  have been included.

An os2krnl.sym file has been provided with this fix. Just save it somewhere
(root directory or anywhere). It is only needed in case OS/2
service requests a standalone dump of your system in the future.

Disclaimer: These interim fixes will be supported by IBM until the next
fixpack is available or until superceded by a newer interim fix.  At the
discretion of IBM, you may be required to revert to GA (i.e.
MCP/ACP/fixpack) code to pursue specific support issues.
