About Warp 3 install, On Tue Oct 12 1999

LP> I want to install warp 3 to the D drive on my computer with Dual
LP> Boot. But I don't want it to reformat or Fdisk anything.  Drive D is

Can be done very easily.  Select advanced install tell it to install to d when 
it asks you for the fdisk command say nope, I would however format it to HPFS
less hassles that way, no defrag ever needed unless over 80% full.

LP> a 1 g partition. Drive C has DOS 6.22 on C & Windows 311 on E.  Want
LP> to run DOS & Windows legacy programs.

I did that when I started using OS/2 now I have not got one thing on my system 
that is M$ all native OS/2 stuff with one exception Quicken v7 for DOS, and it 
works just fine.

LP> The examples in the manual don't exactly do that.

The manual is a bit fuzzy on this, pick up a book called OS/2 for Dummies, it
helped me out quite a bit.

LP> What would would be the best way to install it?

See above that is what I did my first install, and it worked fine till my HD
crashed.

LP> Have a SCSI CD-ROM & ZIP disk & a parallel Syquest Sparq.  Will the
LP> install see these or do I have to have the DOS drivers in the DOS
LP> autoexec.bat & config.sys.

You may need to get the Zip and Sparq drivers for OS/2 and DOS and use them,
the CD should be no problem.

LP> Also want to know about any maintenance upgrades, the best
LP> free/shareware, anything else I should know.

Look in hobbes.nmsu.edu you should be able to find a wealth of stuff in there.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
