Hi Linda,

 LP> Just to confirm that no peer-to-peer was really created for Warp
 LP> Connect.

Try as I might, I cannot work out exactly what it is you are trying to say/ask 
here.....;-) So here are some comments based on what I think you MIGHT be
trying to say, and as such may appear to be repetitive...

No, Warp Connect does NOT include a proprietary Peer-to-Peer Networking
environment, however it DOES include a PUBLIC Peer-to-Peer Networking
environment based on a documented Networking "standard", SMB (Server Message
Block) and it is compatible with other SMB implementations.

My understanding is that the Warp Connect Peer-to-Peer Networking
implementation was developed specifically for Warp Connect, however IBM
already had most of it available as an add-on to previous versions of OS/2.

Does that help?.........pk.
