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 is a utility that allows OS/2 users to run OS/2 programs from a DOS session. This program has a "search" feature, in that;

the OS/2 program does NOT have to be in the path
the user does not have to type the .EXE extension

Examples of usage:

RUN OS2EMACS.EXE TODAY.TXT

this will run OS2EMACS.EXE, and pass "TODAY.TXT" as a parameter to it.

RUN CKERMIT

this will try to locate [a] CKERMIT.EXE, or [b] CKERMIT.CMD , or [c] CKERMIT.COM [d] CKERMIT.BAT, in that order. When any of them is found, it will be run. If no match is found, then there will be an error message.

RUN-OS/2 looks for .EXE .CMD .COM and .BAT extensions, so it will also run DOS programs.

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.
