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.

Watcom IFS Driver Source Code Sample v. 28082005 (28/8/2005, Patrick Ingle)	Readme/What's new	These files show how to build an IFS (Installable File System) driver using Open Watcom 1.3 for OS/2 Thanks to Open Watcom team, they included support for developing 16-bit OS/2 modules, for which an IFS driver is required to be produce as. Prior to Open Watcom, the way to create an IFS driver was to use the DDK with Microsoft 6.0 compiler for OS/2. Also included is an INF document explaining IFS development. A good example for IFS development is to look at the FAT32 IFS driver. Happy IFS Development! Patrick Ingle
