3. : Enhances Your existing Dos and Windows {Not a clue what this one is.}
4. : Includes Dos and Windows Application Support {Again I do not know}


1.  This is just an upgrade,  pretty  easy to figure as you say.  I don't know
    if it  contains  WIN-OS2.  WIN-OS2  is  IBM's  version  of  Windows.  With
    WIN-OS2, you can throw away MS-Windows....hoorrray!!

2.  This is commonly called Warp.  It does NOT include WIN-OS2, and depends on
    your already installed MS-Windows to run Windows applications.

3.  This I'm not sure of. It may be the same as #3.

4.  This is Warp Full Pack.  It contains  Warp and  WIN-OS2,  allowing  you to
    install on an empty disk and get OS2, DOS, and Windows capability.

One way to tell is by price.  Warp costs about $80.  Warp Full Pak costs about
$120.  I decided  to spend the extra $40 and not have to deal with MS  Windows
and it's associated problems.  This way I got a completely  integrated package
with less risk of incompatibilities (although I'm not claiming there are any).
