Hello John,

-> Maybe you could find an OS/2 Warp 4 installation kit = 2 CDs
-> somewhere.

JK>though.

I can't see the reason for that. I have recently installed Warp 4 on a
modern machine and am going to install it on a 1.75 MHz Thinkpad,

There are however a couple of fixpaks to be considered but I do have
them. So far I haven't needed them.

JK>It looked so good, I planned to use it. But later I discovered that
JK>running a big compile job and opening DOS windows at the same time
JK>would crash the machine. Seems my CPU is too fast for Windows 3.1.

Those symptoms are known from my use of DOS / Desqview although it never
did crash but did become very slow.

JK>The only solution would be to run old hardware, CPU <= 350mhz.  But
JK>that's hard to find nowdays, even on Ebay.

That is a good solution. The OS/2 Warp 5 operating systems requires very
little processor power and occupies only 120 Mb on the HD. That means
that you have plenty of space even in a 1 Gb partition.

Happy Holidays,

Holger
