Bought and installed Warp3 on a 486DX2/66 w 8 Mb and 2X 540Mb HD's.
All that swapping and drive activity brought fears of early drive
failure, so memory was upped to 32Mb, and the frantic drive activity
quieted down. But then, I was only using a few Dos apps, and began
wondering what if any advantages I was getting under OS/2, and soon I
was booting up in Dos. Eventually the two 540's were replaced by a 2.6
Gb, and W95 was installed for better Internet performance.
But then, we bought a Pentium and the 486 sat largely unused. So, I
'downgraded' it - pulled the 2.6 and reinstalled the old 540's, and
reinstalled Warp3. So, now I'mm re-acquianting myself with OS/2 and all
the reasons I gave up on it in the first place.
Can anyone recommend a good (freeware) file manager? I mean, how could
they sell Warp3 with a file manger that doesn't let you move or rename
files????????????!!!!!!!
I find myself using the W3.1 file manager all the time, but it is a pain
in the butt to get to it.
I have never installed any 'fixpaks'. Does this mean I'n in for Y2K
troubles?
Are the fixpaks self-installing, or do I need soem 'install' software
for them?
Is it worth upgrading to Warp4? What are the advantages/improvements
over Warp3?
Does anybody still sell Warp4? (No luck in the clearout bins! :(

Cheers.
