Thanks for the information. I think I downloaded it from somewhere. I
must dig it out and install it.

I had the opportunity to look at Warp 4, but I only legitimately have
Warp 3. Having looked, I will not be upgrading until such time as I can
build a Pentium with a large hard drive. Currently I am running a
Cyrix/IBM 586 100MHz with a 420 MB hard disk drive.

No, but from what I could see, cutting it down to size left me with no
more functionality than Warp 3. Just a different look!

GWE and Terminate in my case.

Can't argue with that. I wish New Deal lots of luck, but so far they
have not shown any interest in servicing the non-North American market
and that has upset quite a few people, including Ray Firth who still
has not been contacted by Bill and Clive, even though they reportedly
have obtained the details of the international republishers more than
once in the past few months. They need to realise that this area is
going Windows 95 more rapidly than other parts of the world and the
market for NDO will be won or lost in the next few months! IMHO They
either get NDO 2.5 onto the market pronto, or they can forget about
3.0 ever making any impression Down Under!

So tell me more about Team GEOS and how I join!
