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.

This program can fix and pack files produced by Watcom VX REXX (OS/2 and DOS). It can fix directory tables if the OS/2 LX executable portion was processed by LX-Lite (changed offsets) and can remove toknized rexx images and debug blocks. The resulting files are smaller, but perhaps slower, since the rexx environment has to do its work each time the executable is started. Source code availale.

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.
