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.

A REXX script to prepare OS/2 fixpacks for application from hard disk. Uses a disk image extraction tool which does a CRC validation on the diskette images before applying what could otherwise be junk from a bad download to your system. Many sanity checks and enhancements added since 1.0 release. Now works with both 3.x and 4.x versions of OS/2. Can use text mode or GUI tools. This release fixes a bug in the UNZIP command.

QUICKFIX allows you a rapid and *SAFE* application of OS/2 fixpacks!
