If I recall correctly at one time the suggestion had come up to try using WarpIn as the Mozilla installer on OS/2. I know (at least from the documentation) that WarpIn can create a few different types of installs: 1) Pure WarpIn package (requires a pre-installed version of WarpIn to install) 2) A simple stub .exe install (it will search the user's system for a pre-existing WarpIn and automagically use that for installing, so the .wpi extension doesn't confuse end-users). 3) A minimal stub .exe install (contains a minimal version of WarpIn so can do the whole self-extracting install, but the user needs a copy of WarpIn itself if they're like to do a "clean un-install"). 4) A full .exe install (This packages an entire version of WarpIn with your archive, so that the .exe will install both simultaneously). Was the concept of using WarpIn shelved, or was it just due to developer time? This could certainly be a project I'd be interested in looking at it it hasn't been written off.
