I still have Warp 3.0 on my home computer because Warp 4 doesn't particularly like my video card. Granted, because I have access to many flavors of Warp, I have hacked and cobbled my system together in a very stable FP 35 of Warp 3.0. I even have most icons and the truetype.dll and warpcenter from Warp 4.0. The only thing that I haven't been able to get to work is the Open32 stuff from Warp 4.0... it's supposed to be in FP 32 and FP 35, but the Win32-OS2 stuff refuses to work and Lotus won't install... but Lotus checks the OS version... I haven't been able to fool that app. Basically Warp hasn't changed radically since 2.1. Warp 3.0 was named 2.3 internally, and Warp 4.0 is more like 2.4. Don't get me wrong, the add-ons since 2.1 are fantastic, but the core OS hasn't changed much... I believe this is what's called a mature OS. Most of the drivers I see are for Warp 3.0 and Warp 4.0... but then again, alot of the drivers I use are meant for 2.1, but run fine in 4.0. ----Steve Stephen Amadei Director of MIS Dandy Connections, Inc.
