  Without refreshing my memory from the SC page I can think of:  Netscape 2.02
4.4 and 4.61, TCPIP 4.1, NS plugin, Java 1.1.6, 1.1.8 (best performer of any
INTEL VM) and I'm sure a couple of others.  But how about the page at:
http://ps.software.ibm.com/pbin-usa-ps/getobj.pl?/pdocs-usa/fixnews.html#thes
where I just got (FREE) the latest version of the memory management tool
THESEUS/2.
  A cut&paste from that page (for the last 2 years) shows the following FREE
support given to Warp users by IBM.  May I remind you that the fixes and
advanced features also apply to the 8? year old OS/2 v3 - with other OS's
you'd
have been forced to upgrade (how many times)- NOT for FREE I assure you.

  You are a prickly little sucker aren't you?  Rant all you want, I'm
comfortable that IBM has provided me with superior support for a product that
continues to show the value of working with a professional vendor.
FS> Vriendelijke groet,
  Yep, I guess you can fool some of the people some of the time......
