Just use the script "cdinst" on the cd.

cdinst will create 2 diskettes for Warp 3 and 3 diskettes for Wapr 4 and can be used from the dos prompt of Win9x. A word of caution when using Win9x, after the installation disk is created, do not perform a DIR operation otherwise the disk will not boot. I have created OS/2 cd install diskettes numerous times from Win9x.
