Hi David-

I am delighted to hear this.  I have v1.1 here on Warp 4 + FP8.

It runs just fine here with a pentium 200 and 64 mb of RAM.  The
resulting OS/2 .exe's take a few moments to load because of all the
extra DLL's which must be loaded, I guess, but once open, the programs
run just fine.

Have you been following my current discussion with Denis Tonn on the
POPUPLOG error messages--and do you see that on your Warp 4 machine?

It's the only thing bothering me about it now.

Regards, 

Fred
