XFree86/OS2 Available Ported Software
Last updated 20 Apr 1997
These HTML pages can be downloaded from SET.GMD.DE (/pub/misc/XFree86OS2/html) by FTP.
General
The idea of this page is, to list the publicly available
software which was natively compiled with the programmers
toolkit XF32prog.zip (or later) that is in the distribution. We are not interested
in PMX, EXceed, or Linux programs that may be displayed on the
servers without problems, but software which someone without a network
(or in case of e.g. a network game, of course with a network as well)
is able to run on his own OS/2 system. Commercial or shareware software,
which can be downloaded as a (maybe just partially) working demo, is also
welcome. Refrain from sending me plain advertisement junk only: I want to be
able to check first what I put on my page. First come, first serve
policy: don't expect that you will be mentioned for been able to compile
a program that is already listed here - just to initiate a bit of competition.
Every author is responsible for his/her own ported software. Don't contact
me if you find a bug, mail to the author.
Please don't upload stuff to set.gmd.de; everyone is responsible to keep the
own archives. If you don't have resources to keep your own code on a FTP
archive, it is your personal problem. Set.gmd.de will remain to have only
my own ported software.
If you have successfully compiled something interesting and have an URL
available where binaries (and source diffs) can be downloaded, please send me
a note (original code, version, what it is), and I'll update this page.
If someone is eager to help me here and take over this list, contact me.
Programming utils and libs
When these become available, please use them. Don't reinvent the wheel.
I want to avoid that we end up with 10 different DLLs of the same name.
When you make a DLL, you are also responsible that it contains all entry
points. If some entries are missing, which might turn out later, add them in
a way that the library remains downward compatible.

fixed in current archive, old archive users get fixed wish.exe
