I'm not sure what is still available in the USofA, but over here the
only version readily available is the standard, full version. The
"upgrade" version was (is?) exactly the same as the full version, just
a lower price on initial release. I have never seen an Academic
version listed anywhere over here.

I don't count Warp Server 4 as a Warp 4 version, it's something else
entirely. It's a hybred version as it's really Warp 3 + server stuff
misnamed for marketing reasons as version 4.

There _is_, however, another version of Warp 4 that has not been
mentioned at all in this thread. It was a Devcon special version
without WinOS2 built in and only supplied to registered OS/2
developers via a Devcon subscription immediately after Warp 4 GA
(Devcon 10 or 11?). I've got it here somewhere among the hundreds of
CDROMs stacked around the place...

I suspect everyone now knoes more than they ever wanted to about Warp
4 versions...

George
