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

They can run Win32s apps up to those requiring v1.25 of Win32s. 
The last revision of Win32s was v1.30; OS/2 cannot run these 
without major changes.  Warp v3 only support Win32s v1.15 out of 
the box; you will have to download and install the v1.25 support 
if you need it.  Do note that Win32s is not the Win32 API used 
for native Win9x and NT applications.  It is a subset of the full
Win32 API intended to allow Win3.x to run some 32-bit apps.  Most
native Win9x and NT apps will not run under Win32s at all.

You can use the uncompressed portion of the drive for your swap 
file, if you wish.  OS/2 does not recognize dblspace compressed
volumes.  The was a version of Stacker for OS/2 but it may be
hard to find these days.  My experience is that the swap file
likes an HPFS partition better than FAT anyway, and the added 
processing required to swap to a compressed volume would not be 
good for performance.

LP>  Can a ram disk be used?

For the swap file?  Why?  The swap file is used to hold stuff 
when you run out of physical memory; using physical memory for 
swap defeats the purpose of a swap file and indeed will likely 
degrade performance.

Or are you talking about ram disks in general?  If so, then yes, 
OS/2 does support RAM disks if you want to use one.  Tupe "help 
vdisk" at a command prompt for information on how to set one up.
