Soyou'll have already no need to change. Questionable is if your 
running WARP4 can moved onto an AMD64. My eCS1.1 was working done so - 
even as a fresh install was failing miserably.

Anyway, when you have a need to install on an AMD64 you'll need to 
install eCS 1.2R or newer to get success flawless.

eCS 1.2R does here another great step forward. Solong you can live 
with your existent software you would have no need to upgrade your 
WARP4 - but in not to far future all software will use the new 
features implemented with OS/2 WARP 4.52 AKA MCP and in eCS 1.2R as it 
is based on MCP2, so you can only upgrade to that software if you owns 
eCS 1.2 or newer or forget OS/2 completely.

eCS 1.1 was a very big step forward on its time. eCS 1.2 and its 
replace 1.2R is another one. As I know eCS 2.0 will be the big step 
forward when its get ready for GA.
