   BTW  What is Warp?  Is it the OS/2 windowing system? 
If so, why would I 
want to use it at all, let alone on a 286? ;-)  
 Warp is OS/2v3.  You couldn't use it on a 286, but if you had, say, a 
 486/33 -- do pardon me for mentioning a nine-year-old part -- it would 
 begin to be worth playing with.  My copy of Warp is still very much to
 hand, and I think anyone who can scrounge up an appropriate computer should 
 run it (for a while) if they have the opportunity, because it's a real
 education. 
 Runs just peachy on my old 386/25.  Faster than Windows 3.1 did, not 
 that that's a compliment.  I will admit that I prefer it, though of 
 course all of my high-end machines run Linux.    
I seem to be reading a lot of good things about OS/2 here apart from the 
price.  Since it looks as though I may have found a source of decent 
hard disk drives for my Compaq LTE Lite 20 machines I shall seriously 
consider OS/2 for one of them.  The other one, of course, will run 
either Linux or Free BSD - Linux seems to have the vote so far.

Thankyou everyone.

Philip.
