 LP> Will Warp 3/4 run any Win32 apps?

Some but not all of them.  And Warp4 maybe more than Warp3 (I forget.)

I'd have to look inside those files to see what is what, but there might be
some duplication or old version as well as the latest version.  The large file
probably includes the library, which is essential but often is included on CD
apps, so it may not be needed just to upgrade.

I might add that although v.1.25b is the last patch, that does not mean that
you can not run v.1.30 or v.1.35 etc apps by using some other tricks such as
manually installing the prgm or letting the setup overwrite v.1.25b and then
before running the prgm re-install v.1.25b.

Nope.
