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!)
