Hmmm (sorry, couldn't resist :), I have a "Merlin" beta CD somewhere in a closet. I used it in 1996 when it was released. There was, however, no Win95 'native' support There is limited Win32c support (up to version 1.25 if memory serves well). Most Win32c programs (are there still any?) will require version 1.30, which was gimmicked by you-know-who to not be supported on OS/2. Your best bet to get true Win32 native support on Warp 4 is with project ODIN from Netlabs http://www.netlabs.org. Though the code is still duped alpha, it is well worth trying. It is incredible, what the good people at Network are doing!
I think what the original poster had in mind was the 'trapdoor' that allowed OS/2 to hibernate then boot Win95/98 as though it were native. This only worked with certain chipsets, however. It is present in Warp 4, I've used it myself. It only installs if 3 tests are met. Saw this in os/2 magazine from '96.
