I still have the Warp4 CD, but that's it. If I had some PC hardware from
that time, I'd be able to run it. But the things IBM did made it fail to
install on newer hardware. I've not tried the new versions (Ecomm/Arca).
One being the cost for the product, and the second being that I've now
moved onto other OS's. (Linux, and &^%&^Doze for client support).

I never had to pay for OS/2, it was a requirement to learn how it
worked/install at a place I worked at.. I started with Warp3.

It was a joy to run, and very stable. It ran my BBS system for many
years.
