No one EVER said it would install on an AMD64. No one. 

Nothing ever changes..... The totally wrong comment has been made,
that Warp 4 will NOT install on any hardware made in this century.
That's simply not true. Sure, there is some that will not work, and
you can post 64 bit CPUs all you want, but the fact of the matter is,
warp4 will install and run on most hardware that is out there. There
has ALWAYS been hardware OS/2 does not work on. Apparently, people
have forgotten how things used to be.

I cannot believe that there are OS/2 people out there stating that
Warp4 will not install onto a 40G or 80G hard drive. Sure, you  have
to update the original diskettes, but that is just no big deal, its
not like they are not freely available. If folks want to split hairs,
be my guest.
