Each to his/her own... I gave warp a try. but had so
many problems that I
switched back to Win 3.11 to keep operational. haven't
had the time or disk
space since to give it another go. It is unfortunate
that support
compression was not available at release time. I don't doubt
that OS/2 is a
more stable and "better" OS, but I work with a lot of win3
apps that I am
not ready to discard (yet). I may still get the OS/2 box out
and try again.
I think I need a "test" machine to play with first though. I
wish I didn't
have to sleep so I could spend more time "tinkering"...
