Warp is OS/2v3. You couldn't use it on a 286, but if you had, say, a
486/33 -- do pardon me for mentioning a nine-year-old part -- it would
begin to be worth playing with. My copy of Warp is still very much to
hand, and I think anyone who can scrounge up an appropriate computer should
run it (for a while) if they have the opportunity, because it's a real
education.
