Hi! I'm russian OS/Researcher and technical writer. I can't buy commercial software, because very poor. I'm using only free/open/gnu/shareware (and describe it in articles). I see OS/2 at my friend's PC - this is coolest OS (i see many OSes in my life)! Anybody can help me? May be, you have unneeded distributive of OS/2 4.x, 3.x, 2.x, 1.x... 0.x? Non-english (or even non-european/ierogliphic) localization is not matter: i know all languages equally bad. %) May be, you can donate me? May be, you offer me another option or choice? Thanks for attention. Sorry, if offtopic. I know, my english is ugly... but i read better, than write ![]() Vadim Tukaev (wah DEEM too KAH yeff) AKA shiz0rat, non-staff journalist at russian "Xakep" e-Zine (www.xakep.ru) Russia, 413840 Balakovo, Prospekt Geroev 3-40 mailto: um@front.ru |

| I get dutch version of OS/2 Warp 4! Thanks, Chris!! BUT... if anybody have any other unneeded software, i.e. OS/2 earlier than 4.x, OSes not from OS/2-family (AiX/x86 1.x/2.x, for example) - i'm waiting... with hope. 2Chris: thanks, thanks, thanks. PS: i have collection of freeware OSes (QNX MomenticsNC, BeOS 5 Personal Edition, Minix, PC/GEOS 4 Breadbox Ensemble Lite, Solaris/x86 8 & 9, SkyOS, few DOSes, and want much more - for researching). PPS: i not greed, but poor. i have not money for commercial soft and even for downloading big distributives of freeware OSes (i'net extremely expensive in Russia). |

![]() Hi, shiz0rat, I know what you mean about being poor, I myself am from rural South Texas in the United states of America. You could probably get a copy of OS/2 Warp 3 for $5 to $10 if you spend some time to learn how to bid on eBay. You will probably have to use a credit card, a money order or PayPal. It is okay to email the seller before you bid to see what terms he will accept. Good Luck !! RadarCat, Webmaster |
