I knew about the subset of OpenGL that was available for Warp3 but am fairly 
certain that much of the newer software is using aspects of OpenGL and other 
new enhancements that can't become part of Warp3 without making it Warp4. Too 
much changing in the system to try that migration. Warp4 doesn't even install 
over Warp3 cleanly all that often. 
I much prefer a brand new install and will only resort to an upgrade install 
if someone is holding a gun to my head with the hammer back and the finger 
squeezing and if I really think I can't flinch away before the bullet leaves 
the muzzle... you know, real seldom ;)
