Nick,

regarding the Office suite...:
I still use (and prefer that for it's own desktop stuff) StarOffice 5.1 which exists in German and English AFAIK. It is free, but it's no longer supported. There is also set of fixes for it. All of that was available on the eCS 1.0 (and 1.1?) CDs but as I said - it's free and works great with OS/2 4.x and eCS (all versions)... even with Warp3 but I'm not sure about that...
The only problem now is... how to get it to you? Where are you from (for snail-mailing a cd) or do you have broadband access for the xp machine...? I must also take a look into the distro files to see how many Megs that suite has...

HTH - Greetings
Thomas

I am in the SF Bay Area, CA. I have broadband access, so downloading a cd image is no problem either. But I really need to know which images are the "Kicker" floppies for the CD installation!

For StarOffice 5.1a, you can find it (and the update/patch) on Hobbes at:

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-browse?sh=1&dir=//pub/os2/apps/suite

And yes, it does run under Warp 3, although I believe it needs a recent fixpak (I last ran it on Warp 3 with FP40)

For the kicker disks for the CD install, they are in:

x:\diskimgs\os2\35\disk1_cd.dsk
x:\diskimgs\os2\35\disk2.dsk
x:\diskimgs\os2\35\disk0.dsk

where x: is your CD rom drive.

These 3 images are straight 1.44 floppy images, so if loaddskf doesn't work, any utility which can create floppies from images should be okay.

Also, once you create these disks, you'll probably need to update them with at least the latest ibm1s506.add (or danis506.add) driver. How to do this has been covered in several posts on OS2world.com in the past - do a search in this forum for "updating installation disks" or something like that and you should be able to find the information.

*or*

You can try the updated installation disks that IBM has put out for Thinkpads. They usually work fairly well with other systems too. Grab it from:
