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 ggambaattiscali [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.

Turns out the name of this app is "Alch" instead of "Imalch", according to alch.txt. "Alch" means "little Alchemy", which refers to the well-known classic DOS "Image Alchemy" image converter. Instead of running INSTALL.CMD, which just copies the EXE and DLL to the bootdrive's x:\OS2 directory, one can also delete INSTALL.CMD and move the EXE and DLL to the PATH (EXE) and LIBPATH (DLL) directory of a clean bootdrive politician.
