- Having used warp happily for a long time, I just got a new PC and put WIN95
- on it because the graphics (driver available) didn't give me 256 color after
- three approaches to install it. What a pain!
- Also, there is a 32bit LOTUS suite for Win95 NOW and Iwill have to wait
- months for the OS/2 version. There are already speculations that it will
- not be complete.
- I know, there is also Describe + Mesa + onc... xbase + ... But Descibe
- compares well to WfW2 but not to WordPro.
- And to add s.th. to this discussion. I had fewer crashes in WIN95 than
- hangups in Warp (I did not have FIXPACK 16 yet and I also don't feel like
- downloading 4 or 5 diskettes). There is no doubt that Warp is superior
- technology to WIN95 but Win95 is not as bad as it looks in the posts of
- this group. Its plug and play is a marvel!
