Working principle
UpdCD scans the original OS/2 CD-ROM which is copied to your hard disk and updates all the files which are refreshed in the fixpak. Some of the files on the CD can be updated with a simple copy command, but most of them reside in packed (a sort of zip) and zip files and they require some more processing (packing/unpacking). The current version of UpdCD supports updates of single, packed (bundled) or zipped files, which is enough to incorporate base OS/2, Device Driver, Printer, MPTS, TCP/IP, PEER, Netware Requester Fixpaks, updates for Feature Installer, Java and new products like Netscape Communicator and TCP/IP 4.x into the CD.
