 I was looking over some old CDROM disks I have kicking around.  I found two copies of Warp 
Server for e business.  It includes the Server Pak, the Server Pak installation, the Client Connect 
Pak-1, Client Connect Pak-2, Netfinity 5.2, Lotus Domino, Go Webserver 4.6.2.6, IBM WebSphere, 
Application Server 1.1.

If you wish, and you find yourself needing a more up-to date version of Warp, you are welcome to 
have this copy.  You could install it without the heavy duty domain controller and Lan Server stuff, 
and simply use it as a desktop client.  You might find it more up to date than your old Warp 3 copy.  
Let me know what your address is and I can send it to you.  It comes on 6 cdroms.  As a client 
desktop, it has one nice feature over a desktop Warp 4.  It has the HPFS 386 installable file system, 
that does away with the limiting cache size of the Warp 4 IFS. You should have a pentium 133 plus 
machine and 64 megs of ram.  Of course the more you have the better, but I suggest those as 
minimum for reasonable performance.
