XWorkplace crashed during shutdown. I attempted to comply with Please send a bug report to xworkplace-user@…, but your e-mail server rejected it with the message <xworkplace-user@…>: ezmlm-issubn: fatal: unable to open allow/subscribers/T: access denied Sorry, only subscribers may post.

I am attaching the trap log for the original problem, and suggest that the text in xwptrap be amended to either provide a deliverable address or to describe the need to subscribe.

In \src\startshut\apm.c function VOID acpiDoPowerOff(VOID) line 406 DosSleep?(700); has to be used to switch down my system reliable.

I tested this over many years and retested again the latest months. My MSI board needs 700ms instead the 250ms which is in the official sources. Shutdown on this system does not work reliable with values <700ms. Most of the time shutdown works with 250ms and 500ms too. But reliable switching off monitor out and all fans is only guaranteed with 700ms. Here is the relevant part of the code with my comments over the years. As you can see I watch this problem since many years. No clue how many systems out there are do not fully shut down sporadically as mine. But I'm pretty sure my system is not the only one. But probably I'm the only one who observed this problem and tested with different values long enough to assure this is the place where the problem can be fixed.

An example where UTF-8 in the WIS would be useful is the Russian package, which currently uses CP866. Unfortunately, Ulrich's surname contains an umlaut, which is not present in CP866, resulting in the WarpIN database having an unrecognizable (and less than useful) Vendor name.

This was discussed at some length in the ArcaOS Translators' list on or about 8/17/2021 in the thread, "XWP packaging for languages that do not use CP850."
