Problem Running Pathworks for OS/2 version 2.0B under Warp

I've been using Pathworks for OS/2 version 2.0B quite successfully under OS/2
version 2.1 for over a year now.

Until yesterday when I installed Warp Full-Pack.

Now when I boot, I get the following problem on this CONFIG.SYS line:
      ANMAN
                         ANMAN
IFS=TPROGTWKSTA.SYS /I:E:
On screen it says:

Installing NETWRKSTA.SYS Version 2.2.14 (May 26, 1993)

                    ANMAN
SYS179:  The file TPROGTWKSTA.SYS specified in the IFS
statement on line 129 of the CONFIG.SYS file does not contain a valid device
driver or file system driver.  Line 129 is ignored.

Now, I remember that I had the SAME problem when I upgraded from OS/2 version
2.0 to 2.1 and back then I was told by someone on the Internet that I needed
to add a line to the file OS2VER in the root directory of the boot drive.  I
did so and it solved the problem, but unfortunately NOT this time :-(

This is the contents of my OS2VER file:

20=netbios.os2
20=nwifs.ifs
20=netwksta.sys
20=nwreq.sys
20=netbios.sys
20=ipx.sys

and I even tried changing the 3rd line to "21=netwksta.sys" but it didn't make
any difference.

Can anyone please help with this problem?  Email responses preferred.

Any assistance will be much appreciated!  If I can't solve this problem soon,
I'm going to have to go back to using OS/2 version 2.1 which was very stable
for me.

Thanks.
