LP> Will fixpaks fix Win Y2k?

For Warp v3, the fixpacks will fix the Blue-spine version's 
WIn-OS2.  They will ignore Windows installed on the red-spine 
system.  Warp v4 fixpacks AFAIK also fix Win-OS2.
 
LP> If using the blue flavour, what does one do about Windows add-ons?

Such as?

If the add-ons are also Windows programs they should continue to 
function as they did before you installed OS/2.  If they are DOS 
programs, be aware that DOS sessions launched from Windows
running under OS/2 will appear as OS/2-DOS VDM sessions, not as
DOS windows within your Win-OS2 session (ie, your screen will
swich from Windows back to the WPS shell to launch the DOS
session).  This can be disconcerting if you're not expecting it.

LP>  With the red box, they work as if running on DOS?

If they're DOS programs, yes, as above.  If they're Windows
programs, they should work just as they did before you installed
OS/2.

LP> With w32s, how does that work with blue & red?

Warp v3 can support Win32s v1.15 out of the box.  You can 
download an update that can support Win32s v1.25, which is the 
same as what Warp v4 supports.  In either case, you have to
download and install the Microsoft Win32s package to make it 
work.  IOW, OS/2 just comes with a driver that hooks into the 
Win32s system.  You have to download and install Microsoft's 
Win32s support to actually make use of this driver.
 
LP> Is there a program like Winspeaker for OS/2?

Not sure.  What does "Winspeaker" do?
