Rod, you can download the Win32s 1.25 code from hobbes in the /windows
directory (off the root). Warp 4.0 contains SUPPORT for Win32s 1.25a,
but does NOT contain the Win32s code.
Also, make sure that the line DEVICE=x\OS2\MDOS\VW32S.SYS appears in
your config.sys file to load the Win32s support.
Filename is:
W32s125.zip 2270907 Dec 24 1995 Microsoft Win32s v1.25
Unzip and install in a WinOS2 session. If you install FREECELL, you can
test it.
I had Win32s support loaded in Warp Connect (blue) using the newer
VW32S.SYS beta and the new os2krnl file along with FP22. Installed Warp
4.0 as an upgrade OVER Warp Connect, and all is well. Can even run
Visual Foxpro (but NOT Photoshop 3.0).
