Nope. Get the same TRAP0003.

Again, no. The xWorkplace shutdown does some stuff that the Warp shutdown
doesn't, but there are no drivers involved. In fact, xWorkplace doesn't touch
CONFIG.SYS at all. Everything is replacement/supplemental WPS classes.

Good idea, although I'm not quite sure where to start the process. Time wise,
this is a daunting task since I have to boot from the utility diskette set each
time I do a restart (a 2-3 minute process). I did some investigation today,
comparing the dates on files between the two systems, and the results are
bizarre. As best I can tell, I have a mix of Fixpak 11 and Fixpak 12 dates in
D:\OS2\BOOT. I'm tempted to copy files between the two systems, but I'm not
confident that I'm going to do more than to just confuse the issue. Steve
Schiffman suggested that I do a reinstall over the top of the existing system
(preserves my apps, with any kind of luck) and then reapply Fixpak 12. That is
beginning to look more attractive :-)

Speaking of Fixpaks, the June SCOUG CD has 12, 13, and 14 on it. I have been
well satisfied with the stability of Fixpak 12. Any information concerning
stability of 13 and 14? If I'm going to go the reinstall route, I have the
option of applying a later Fixpak.
