Hi Jeff,

Warp 4 runs happily on old machines, which means single-kern CPU's and
2 GB SCSI partitions. If you have an IDE HD the installation partn has
to be about 500 Mb, which isn't a handicap since the OS+GUI needs 120Mb.

JS> Lately, I have been in an experimenting mood and I still have Warp4

See above.

JS> Is the current  releases commercial only these days? Or is Warp4
JS> still worth using today?

There's a new kid in the block today. His (or her) name is ArcaOS and
is available from:

  https://www.arcanoae.com/product-category/an-products/

Installation of this OS/2 operating system is possible on modern
hardware.


Have a good night,

Holger
