PLEASE NOTE! If you haven't yet upgraded your copy of Warp 9 to version
3.72, you must do so before running this patch! There have been two
online updates before this one: one to go from version 3.70 to 3.71, and
one to go from version 3.71 to 3.72. You will find these online
updates in the same place where you got this file.
What This Update Fixes
----------------------
The patch program included with this text file updates Warp 9 3.72 to
version 3.73. Here's a list of the bugs fixed in this version:
o under some versions of TOS, the automatic picture loading feature
would crash.
o turning Extend-O-Save off for a specific program with the 'S0'
command didn't work, if 'S0' was the only option set for that
program.
o this one isn't a bug fix, it's a small change: if you have a desktop
picture loaded and you run a program with another picture assigned to
it, when you quit that program your original picture will be reloaded
from the same path where you originally located it. Previous
versions of Warp 9 would look for the original picture in the Control
Panel's default directory, regardless of its original location.
How To Do It
------------
To perform the patch, follow these simple instructions:
1. IMPORTANT!!! Make a copy of your Warp 9 program file and store it
in a safe place, just in case something goes wrong during the
upgrade process. Don't modify your only copy!
2. Run the program SUPERZAP.PRG, which is included with this archive
file. When the program starts, click the button labeled "Read ZAP
Data." A GEM file selector will appear.
3. Use the file selector to locate and select the ZAP file for either
the ST or the TT version of Warp 9, depending on which one you use.
(The ZAP file will be named either W9ST_373.ZAP or W9TT_373.ZAP.)
SUPERZAP will load the ZAP file, and the button underneath "Read
ZAP Data" will now read "WARP9_ST v3.72->3.73" (or "WARP9_TT..."),
and become selectable.
4. Click on this button and a GEM file selector appears, letting you
locate the copy of Warp 9 that is to be updated. Select the Warp 9
program file and SUPERZAP will do its job, leaving you with a
working copy of Warp 9 3.73.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 to update your copy of the Warp 9 Control Panel
desk accessory (WARP9_CP.ACC) to version 1.3a. The ZAP file for the
Control Panel is named W9CP_13A.ZAP.

CodeHead Technologies Update Policy
-----------------------------------
At CodeHead, we update all of our software frequently; but due to postal
expenses we are not always able to notify our users. The easiest way
to find out the latest version number of any CodeHead Technologies product
is to call us at the number below, or to contact us on GEnie, Compuserve,
or Delphi.
Update prices vary, depending on several factors such as whether a new
manual is included. Again, it's probably best to contact us at the

Please, remember that software theft hurts EVERYONE. If you have a
legitimate copy of our software, please accept our sincere thanks for
purchasing our product, and don't bother reading the next paragraph.
If you don't have a legal copy of this program, you might want to give
some thought to the consequences of your actions. We will not continue
to produce software for the ST if we can't make a living at it --
especially now, with the Atari ST's market share at an all time low. If
you steal a copy of any of our programs (by using it without buying it,
or allowing others to use it without buying it), besides breaking a
federal law, you're also quite literally stealing the food right out of
our families' mouths. Is that the kind of person you want to be?
Think about it.
