    WarpTris 1.01 WarpTris is a Freeware, 32bit Multi-Threaded Tetris like
game
    for OS/2 Warp. Instead of pieces droping from top to bottom they appear at
    the middle of the game window, and then start falling towards on side of
it
    randomly. This enables you to make lines all around the game window. This
    release adds Num Lock independence and corrects some minor bugs that
    existed on WarpTris 1.0.

Sheesh... OS/2 is not all work and no games. 

I think if I leave off all my AdeptXBBS files, then I can get all the above
and a FixPak for Warp3 and most of the rest of my 1,500 OS/2 files on 1 CD.
Then I can send you that CD for $10US (including shipping to Canada).  If you
are interested, then send me your snail mail address via NetMail.

     Thanks and Good Luck,        Andy Roberts
