Warp deals with power loss well but not allways perfectly. Though in my
years of experience with it I've never noticed a single fault caused by
power loss, I have noticed that the autocheck will 'find' 'lost files'
and
place them in x:\found00x folders. I think they are hash files because
the originals are all in thier correct places and the system runs
perfectly.
I just delete the folder(s) whenever I see one which is rare.
This is on an HPFS formatted drive. A power failure can screw the
filesystem just like windows if you run fat. I gave up on fat about the
time I got OS/2....

OS dies from bad app is clearly the worst case. It can
hammer the
filesystem
and thats always messy. NT4 is clearly way better on that over W9x. The
acid test for both (from work experience) is start editing a document
with
WORD, running Paradox-9 or Delphi and then pull the plug out of the wall.
The W95 box generally does bad stuff while the NT4 box seems to shrug it
off loosing only unsaved work. W9x is not robust, never said it was.
From testing OS/2 is in the NT4 response catagory to
unexpected power
fails
The various unix clones seem to take it well but, I havent tested it as
hard.
