If he was running Warp4 he must be accustomed to sluggishness. I
installed it on one of the two hard drives for my 701 (DX4/75, 24mb) and
find it to be very slow compared to Win95, which runs quite well on the
other hard drive with the same machine.

Though I like some things about Warp4, I'm baffled as to why there is no
feature for file management, like File Manager/Explorer on the Windows
system. This omission alone makes it almost too tedious to use. I assume
there are OS/2 file manager programs one can buy. But given that it
already comes with an array of Bonus Pack application, why would IBM
leave out something so basic?
