Oh, eCS 1.2R gives you an easy way to migrate from WARP 4.0, 4.5, 4.51 or 4.52
to eCS. The only requirements to get it right are:
- clean os2.ini, os2.sys.ini
  wptool32.zip (HOBBES) helps you to get that
- a system partiton in size of 500 MB or bigger
- do NOT format the system partiton when the installer asks for
  That means to install over the old system. 

To be sure for success you'll make a backup of the system before you tries to
do that. Thereafter you will simply copy/move the member of the "old desktop"
you likes to hold in the new system to the place you likes they have to reside
now and kill the folder thereafter.

When something fails you can easy restore the backup to make another try.
