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.

The Nice-OS/2 Enhancer adds new features to the OS/2 operating system. Using this application you will be able:

scroll the window content using mouse or keys,
change frames and controls for all windows,
extend your workplace by new "Rooms" around the Desktop,
define "Hot Keys" to perform various actions,
access network drives and FTP folders from file dialogs,
manage the priority for visible applications,
remove items from the Window list,
arrange text, WPS and Java windows by center of the screen,
hold "Num Lock" always "ON" or "OFF"
and more, more, more...

This program is very stable and compatible with popular software. It is not simply a "decoration": indeed it is one of the greatest "run-time" Fixs developed for OS/2!

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.
