ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Notice ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Warp Shutdown was conceptualized and designed by Eric Dorothy
This project was coded in VX-REXX rev 2.1d. for OS/2 Warp.
I am NOT responsible if this program is trashing or has trashed your system,
damaged any files or caused you financial loss, or is degrading your mental health.
Basically it's use at your own risk software.
This software is Freeware!
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Introduction ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Warp Shutdown is a public release program that displays informative messages to the user as they are
shutting down.
DACKEWARE
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Warp Shutdown ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Did you ever notice that, if you have the IBM peer service running in OS/2 Warp version 4, the system will
never tell you what it is doing on a shutdown? I have and it was very annoying.
Until you figure out what is going on you think that your machine has locked up during the shutdown
process. OS/2 Warp 3 does not suffer from this apparent oversight. Therefore the software I've written
here works on Warp 3 but there really is no point to it.
Well, I noticed the problem and I wrote this program to correct it. The program will do the following
upon execution;
1. look for IBM peer services
log you off of the network
stop the IBM peer services (if started)
write data to the disk and shutdown

I would like to extend a special thanks to the following people.
IBM, for a great operating system in which to program.
My glorious, self sacrificing wife Samantha, for putting up with all
those extremely late hours spell checking every word I misspelled.
