I've updated the Warpin archive to eCUPS003.WPI

Main change is I updated the cups1311 (I'd used a build with a naff 
usb.exe in eCUPS002.WPI) and ghostscript(8.70) packages and revised the 
script.

I've uploaded eCUPS003.WPI and eCUPS003.txt to ftp.netlabs.org/incoming

I'll leave it to you to update the wiki and announce when they are in 
/pub/ecups

Regards

Pete

Could you please upload the new Warpin script (or post it in a message
on this list)? I do not have broadband and it is much easier for me to
build the WPI file myself than to undertake downloading such a very 
large WPI file.

Thank you; and please be assured that I have a thick skin and will not 
take umbrage at suggestions simply because I had not thought of them 
first - or at all  :-)

I got involved in this simply because I could see that installing all 
the seperate packages required to get cups working could be a bit "off 
putting" for some users. Also with eCS needing updated OMNI printer 
drivers to allow full use of modern printer capabilities an "all-in-1" 
install package needed to happen sooner or later.

I'd like to think I've given the cups project a push in that direction; 
also gave me a lot of instruction on building Warpin Archives and 
developing the necessary scripts - with a little help here and there  :-)

You will either want to download the updated ghostscript 
http://download.smedley.info/Ghostscript-8.70-os2-20090801.zip
or "backlevel" the above PACKAGEID to Ghostscript\8\6\4
