Damn, never thought of that. I too have a set of Warp floppies
(guess I don't think W95 is an "upgrade" from Warp ;-) ). Anyway,
someone kindly made a image file of a Win3.1 floppy with dd(1) and
put it on an ftp site for me. This did the trick. I now have Win95
running (albeit very slowly) as an application within FreeBSD. It's
rightful place some would say:)
