I have successfully converted my running copy of WSEB 4.52 to VMWare. I
have also managed to install Warp 4.52 to WMWare from scratch. Both with
Boot Manager. However, I haven't seen any reason to play with the original
WARP 4.0 anymore. Also, I don't see any reason for multibooting in virtual
environment. ;)

My main system is still running in a real hardware. I haven't had enough
time to test the virtualized copy. Maybe some time..

'Tommi
