True.  However installing Warp 4 from even the 'latest' CD produces an install
that absolutely has to be serviced from IBM FixPack support.  With that in
mind, if my memory is correct, at an absolute minimum this means you will have
to use FP15 and, hopefully you will have a copy of FP17 which is the 'final'
IBM service pack for the whole Warp 4 system.  As part of the process, there
are other FixPack updates needed for a whole host of other components of Warp
4, including network stuff and so on that are not part of the FP15 or FP17 at
all.  In this case, if my memory is correct, there are a significant number of
language choices that were not available for other than English and some of the
other choices for Warp 4 that the operating system for which IBM released the
product.

That is only one of the reasons it is really not a good idea for some users to
go forward with the older Warp4 product.  And why one really needs to move
upward to MCP and so on.  Yes, Warp 4 does in fact still handle some uses very
well, especially those which do not have heavy Internet and other operating
system interface requirements like combined OS/2 and Netware or Windows32
systems.  Most especially it can be a real mess if you need to use Netbios over
TCP/IP for a protocol to do this.  There are VERY serious virus and system
contamination problems which can risk even you OS/2 system with NetBios over
TCP/IP in use.
