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.

Koules v. 3.1 (20/2/1996, Jan Hubicka)	Readme/What's new	HISTORY - for Koules OS/2 BETA 1 Internal version - really did some amazing crashes, e.g. really screwed up my desktop colors. :-) BETA 2 Feb.12 - 1996 - Fisrt public release. BETA 2.1 Feb.14 - 1996 - Fixed a bug with 256 colors and FSDive. - Removed F1 & F3 shortcuts from the Options menu, as these will crash OS/2 when running Full-Screen. - Added define for version in Makefile. - WaitRetrace() defined as vga_waitretrace() didn't notice any differences. BETA 3 Feb 15 - 1996 - First attempt for sound support with MMPM/2 BETA 3.1 Feb 16 - 1996 - Fixed sound, so it seems stable :-) - Re-arranged the toplevel menus + submenus - The chances that you'll end up with garbage on the screen when killig Koules, is now much lesser than before. - Refixed the FSDive problem on 256 colors display. - Cheated a little with the screen buffers - now the game actually is playable in 640x480 mode.. :-) - Now you can quit the game, when in FSDive mode.
