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.

WPS2Rexx is a program designed to ease the backup of the WorkPlace Shell component of OS/2 2.x.

It allows you to save the contents of your WorkPlace to a Rexx script. The Rexx script can be used to regenerate your WorkPlace objects in case of disaster. It can also be used on a corporate basis to standardize WorkPlace's. It will also enable you to save the icons to separate .ICO files.
Unlike many other similar products on the market WPS2Rexx/2 uses only official WorkPlace API to obtain the information it needs. Therefore the program should continue to run in the future whether or not IBM decides to change the layout of the OS/2 .INI files.

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.
