Sorry if it came off that way to you. You had asked, I gave advice, you said 
essentially 'OK, but that is not what I want to do' and I replied with why I 
had given the original advice and related some of my experience learned from 
several years of fighting with software. My whole point was that the original 
advice was given for a reason and I feel very strongly about it. So many 
people who have tried OS2 in the past have dumped it because they were using 
a really old version of the code that had been fixed years ago. You wouldn't 
expect people to judge OSR2 (latest Win95) based upon testing of Windows for 
Workgroups? There have been 3 major OS2 releases and 32 fixpacks released 
(coded) since Warp version 3 red pack was released. That is several years of 
development and refinement and bug fixing. Don't put yourself through the 
hassles of rediscovering old bugs and getting disgusted with OS2. As for the 
files, FP26/29 is available from IBM (web and BBS), all HOBBES archive 
mirrors and numerous other web sites. It is also likely to be available at 
most IBMNET, OS2NET, and FERNWOOD BBS systems. I am sure Pete Norloff has it 
online. The latest fixpacks have also been compiled by J3 comuters onto a CD 
and are available from them for circa $10-15us. 
Let me know here or in private email if you have any difficulty finding the 
fixpacks, installing them or getting your OS2 working.
