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.

Decrypt and encrypt files with OS/2 or OS/2 Rexx.

The source file will not be deleted when an output file is specified.

Without an output file the original input file will be overwritten, which can damage the original file. It is recommended to always use an output file and to have a verified backup copy of the file. An encrypted file can be decrypted by encrypting the encrypted file again with the same password and code as used when the file was encrypted.

Both the executable and the Rexx DLL should produce the same output. Differences are the additional return codes of the executable, and the executable always shows the error message when an error occurs. The executable doesn't require the DLL, and the DLL doesn't require the executable.

This software is distributed as compressed package. You have to download and manually install it; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too.
