Greetings All,

Thought I'd start this message to let everyone know that I appreciate
everyone's assistance with my prep to OS/2.  And if I don't reply to
your info (because the info was saved and complete enough to not need
more clarification), please don't feel that I'm not using it.  I am.

Now to the questions.

If I install the red flavour of Warp 3 and get a copy of blue flavour
later, would there be a problem installing over the red, or do I have to
uninstall the red ?

Also looking for a suggestion for an OS/2 (or DOS, Win) file list maker
and utilities that extracts diz/readmes, etc from all archive types &
subdirectories & that also does not depend on board specific files.  And
if the archiver doesn't have to be in the path statement would even be
better.  Have tried a lot of them, but nothing quite makes it.  Or the
program is almost perfect but too old to support the newer archivers.
Qwiklist comes close but the last version I used had a bug with long
directories. DizCat V 1.0 also came close but doesn't deal with
subdirectories. Is there a utility that will read a file list &
move the file to another directory if not in the right directory? Or
read the diz/readmes & let me move the file? Or would a catalogue
program extract the files?

Also, what DOS & WIN programs that did not work with OS/2.  And what
OS/2 programs would be version specific.  Example, ones that work with
Dos 3.3 but won't with 5, etc.

Looking forward to replies.

Anon,

Linda
