    1616'''Note:''' The above WarpIN Archive was designed to be installed to eComStation systems. It should also install to OS/2 Warp 4 systems. This would result in the OS/2 system acquiring an ecs directory tree on the boot drive in the event of Docs and/or Support dll files being installed - Just something OS/2 users need to be aware of.
