A note about the future of ecsoft2.org

ecsoft2.org runs on software (Drupal 7 and PHP 7.4) that reached its end of life years ago and no longer receives security updates. Keeping the site online safely is getting harder.

Giving it a future means migrating it to a current platform — and that is only worth doing if people still use it and want to help keep it alive.

If you care about ecsoft2.org, as a user, a contributor, or someone willing to lend a hand, please ggambatiscali [dot] it (get in touch) by January 31, 2027.

If no one comes forward by then, the site will be turned into a read-only archive, so that its content stays available.

CAS Tools v. 1.3 (3/3/2024, Mentore Siesto)	Readme/What's new	This is the OS/2 - ArcaOS port of CAS Tools 1.3, a set of programs to handle sampled MSX tapes. I ported this on OS/2 while I was searching for some MSX emulator to be ported, so I thought this could be a good starting point. As usual, the original source code is included in its .tar.gz compressed form - you can check out the source tree at https://github.com/joyrex2001/castools In this directory, a makefile suitable for compiling under OS/2 version of GCC is present - I wrote it to overcome the differences between the original makefile and what I needed. GCC 9.2.0 was used to port this software. Hope this will be useful to someone :) Mentore
