Just an aside: P2P was developed originally to be marketed as a
stand-alone feature.  I got (still have, somewhere) the first betas of
it from the LAN group in mid 1993 and a gamma version while I was at
Condex '93, along with freebie copies of OS/2 2.11.  The intent was to
sell it as an extra cost feature from the LAN group but Win 95 came out
 right on the heels of Warp 3 and there was a demand for Warp 3 with
client and peer support built in so they mated it with the P2P product
to produce Warp Connect.  I don't ever recall seeing a price for P2P
but it was supposed to have been in $200 range for single seats. 
Forcing the peer client/server into Warp 4 was one positive influence
of Win 95 .
