Just a thought here ..

 HG> If you want to know, the computer I'm writing this on runs Warp4 FP12 on
 HG> an AMD 486DX2-80MHz CPU with 16 Mb RAM. So much for your theories!

 HG> I know that you are going to suggest eCS too me but as long as Warp4

I/m curious as to why you haven't installed Fix Pack 15 over FP12 in this case?
 There were significant real fixes that were involved here. Yes, I do know
understand that there were also serious issues that went wrong with Fix Pack 13
.. and later that made Fix Pack 14 a problem in some areas.  But Fix Pack 15
was not only very stable, but it also was/is publically available in more than
just the floppy diskette version.  It actually exists as a simple
run-from-hard-drive version.

Not also that in this case there are other fix products which were/are still
public that are really appropriate to my understanding.  IBM removed the device
drivers from the major op system fix packs,co-incident, per my recall, with Fix
Pack 12.  In particular, there are at least up to the level two (2) Device
Driver fixes that are publically available perfectly legally and free.

Even on my Fido BBS here which you can access or poll TelNet you can pick up
FIXPACK15.ZIP which is in the IBMINFO file area.  As well as DDVR02.ZIP which
is that Device Driver package in the same file area.  I think these are both
also available from the Public FTP anonomous download area called IBMINFO if I
recall correctly.  Even the DHCP fixes from TestCase which were public to fix
the file handle not closed errors are there for you if you want this.

Yes, I still have Warp 4 running on a few boxes.  And the lowest CPU speed it
is still running on is 133Mhz, but with 64MB of memory, I think.  I also have
Warp 4 moved to the 32MB MPTN/TCPIP operations and so on.  Which do require
more than 16MB of RAM.  Which I'd sure bet you really could benefit from at
least up to 64MB or if at all possible 128MB of RAM on your system.  Heck, I
even have the latest Seamonkey 1.1.14 complete installed and running on Warp4
at 133Mhz CPU and 128MB of RAM here for test purposes!

Thus as always, anything I can do to help the OS/2 crew within reason,even to
Warp 4, is still here if I can help you!


--> Sleep well; OS/2's still awake! ;)
