WarpIN maintains a global database of all the installed packages. Because of
this, WarpIN can easily de-install all packages that have ever been installed
and check for the installation status of a certain package, if another package
requires this package to be installed first.
The global database resides in the WarpIN directory so that it does not get
deleted even if OS/2 should ever need to be re-installed.
For each package which was ever installed using WarpIN, the global database
contains the following:
- all the information specified with the
PCK tag in the install script (package name,
install path, CONFIG.SYS changes, WPS classes etc.);
- a complete list of all the files as they were unpacked during the
install process, including the original file dates as they were in the
source archive;
- the install date of the package.
