	Here is Australia I rung IBM and asked about the price of the cd version of
	warp. She asked me which version, the blue or the red. So I told her,
	unsure which is which, the one with out windows. she told me AUS$179. BUT
	she told me that you MUST have windows to install it. ??????? 

	Well I said how about the blue version then I said and see said its coming
	out NEXT YEAR, because of problems with Microsoft.

	Please anyone tell me that all this is wrong and especially the fact that
	you need windows to install os2 warp(red). Also anyone comfirm or the
	story about the blue version. Also isnt there a version for JUST os2 no
	windows what soever, not with os2 not for windows.

---You don't need Windows to install v3.  You don't need DOS either.  But if
you have both DOS and Windows, you can install OS/2 over them.  Or you 
can install OS/2 by itself.

---You can check out OS/2 at Software Express, just next to your institute,
or other of the software specialist houses around your city.
