Another unsavory trick of Warpped Team OS/Blue is to mess with the headers to
annoy the entire use net community. May I suggest that you careful note what
they are doing and call your local branch of IBM and tell them that in view
of the acclivities of some of their employees that in the future you may not
be able to recommend that anyone in your organization will be purchasing any
of their products?

If you are not an MIS then please quitely call their desparate atempt to
his/her attention and query as to what is IBM afraid of that they condon such
actions by key personel.


Future posts are trimmed to one advocacy group where all this started.

Here's a rather surprising statement from, of all people,
the IBM Personal Computer Company, regarding Warp vs. NT
on their PentiumPro boxes (which are equipped with a special
version of SelectaSystem, allowing you to choose between Warp and NT):

"At this time, because of the 16-bit code still present in OS/2 Warp, we
recommend that users run WINDOWS NT WORKSTATION instead of OS/2 Warp if
performance is paramount."
