   I don't doubt that.  IBM probably has no more use for an application that won't 
   install than I do!

Oh, I don't know about that. Remember the Merlin Beta? They loved it. I
hated it. They claimed it didn't need another beta. I was right, they did.

And I've been a registed OWNER of Warp for two years and have never
received a single piece of mail from IBM in any form or fashion. Just
thought I'd throw that in.

This is a fierce thread. I'm outta here.

Good luck,

Buddy
