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.

ResMan/2 v. 49.13 (9/11/2026, Entwickelt von J.P.M.)	Readme/What's new	# ResMan/2 Experimental Live Resolution Switching Copyright © 2026 J.P.M. License: Freeware ResMan/2 allows you to change screen resolutions under OS/2 and ArcaOS on the fly, without rebooting. The program uses native Presentation Manager and low-level graphics interfaces. No system DLLs or graphics drivers are replaced. ## Installation Extract both files into the same directory: - `RESMAN.EXE` The main application with the graphical user interface. - `RESHELP.EXE` The helper executable used internally for low-level resolution switching and recovery. Always start ResMan/2 by running `RESMAN.EXE`. `RESHELP.EXE` is launched automatically when needed. It is not a standalone application and has no useful functionality when started independently. No additional OpenWatcom runtime libraries are required. ## Usage and Recovery Select the desired screen resolution and click the switch button. To restore the original resolution, press ESC while the ResMan/2 window has focus. If recovery is not possible, a reboot should restore the resolution configured in the native OS/2 display settings. ResMan/2 does not permanently change the system's configured screen resolution. ## Compatibility Tested exclusively with ArcaOS 5.1.2 under VirtualBox using VBox GenGRADD. Bare metal, Panorama and SNAP have not been tested. ## License ResMan/2 is distributed as freeware and may be used free of charge. Copyright © 2026 J.P.M.
