What system do you have?

IIRC, Warp 4 requires a cdrom drive because IIRC Warp 4 isn't available on
floppies. OTOH, IIRC, on the Warp 4 cdrom there are floppy disk images so you
could go to someone who has a cdrom drive and a stack of floppies - I don't
know how many, but it's *many* (>30 in total), it takes a *lot* of time to
copy the floppy disk images to floppies, and installation from floppies takes
also a *lot* of time. I would not recommend that. Also, I would not recommend
to run Warp 4 on a 386: very slow if it runs at all - but I haven't tried
that, just that I gathered from reading here and the Warp 4 installation
manual says Warp 4 requires a 486.
