I bought OS/2 Warp to run my Wildcat v4 bbs on.  It ran great. My problem was
when I tried to upgrade to OS/2 v4, my mouse wouldn't work.  I called IBM and
they wanted to charge me to get it working.  I dropped OS/2 and went to
Desqview.  Ran that until the internet took over.  BTW, I still have both
OS/2 v3 and v4 in there original boxes.  I may try to resurrect them.
