Interesting. I had exactly the same experience trying to reinstall Warp
from the disks produced by the disk factory. Righ now I'm facing again
the decision of whether to keep Warp (I'm sitting in front of 2 701s -
my old one, which works for an average of 30 minutes/day, and the
replacement from IBM which arrived yesterday fully loaded with software).
Probably I'll just wipe the disk and put W95 on it. If I ever decide to
go back to OS2 I'll get Warp 4 (if it will fit on my 360 meg drive!)
