Sadly, I haven't yet.  Then again, I mucked up my Warp 4 VM badly by
applying a fixpack the wrong way.  I would like to apply it via either
CD (via an ISO image mounted in the VM) or from the hard drive, but have
not really found any good step-by-step instructions as to how to go
about doing either of these or by using the RSU application (I keep
getting a message about a bad directory layout, but the archive on IBM's
site doesn't say exactly how things should be layed out.

Now if anyone has a working ISO of the latest OS/2 Warp 4 FixPack they
would not mind sending me, I can give them access to my FPT server
(running an OS/2 FTP server package called FtpServer by Peter Moylan).
