   Hello John,   
      
   -> Maybe you could find an OS/2 Warp 4 installation kit = 2 CDs   
   -> somewhere.   
      
   JK>Once upon a time, before IBM abandoned it, I used OS/2. Seems like   
   JK>you would need some old hardware to have Warp 4 compatible devices   
   JK>though.   
      
   I can't see the reason for that. I have recently installed Warp 4 on a   
   modern machine and am going to install it on a 1.75 MHz Thinkpad,   
      
   There are however a couple of fixpaks to be considered but I do have   
   them. So far I haven't needed them.   
      
   JK>It looked so good, I planned to use it. But later I discovered that   
   JK>running a big compile job and opening DOS windows at the same time   
   JK>would crash the machine. Seems my CPU is too fast for Windows 3.1.   
      
   Those symptoms are known from my use of DOS / Desqview although it never   
   did crash but did become very slow.   
      
   JK>The only solution would be to run old hardware, CPU <= 350mhz.  But   
   JK>that's hard to find nowdays, even on Ebay.   
      
   That is a good solution. The OS/2 Warp 5 operating systems requires very   
   little processor power and occupies only 120 Mb on the HD. That means   
   that you have plenty of space even in a 1 Gb partition.   
      
   Happy Holidays,   
      
   Holger
