Apart from Lawrence, who AIUI is a former user - as he
just gave me a
pile of OS/2 boxes yesterday :?) - are there any other OS/2 users on
the list? Or are there any active OS/2 mailing lists still around?
There are several as well as the comp.os.os2.misc group on usenet.
OS/2 User is still fairly active http://groups.yahoo.com/group/os2user/
There is a very active OS/2 UK list but you have to send an email to
os2-uk-request at os2.org.uk
with following in body
subscribe os2-uk
Aussies also have a fairly active list http://www.os2.org.au/list/
There is a detailed list of OS/2 and eCS related mailing lists at
http://www.os2voice.org/mailinglists.html but it hasn't been updated in a
long time so many may be dead lists.
Finally there are ecomstation news groups on their own server
(news.ecomstation.nl) including one for running OS/2 or eCS in a VM
ecomstation.support.virtualpc
I am wondering if I can get a copy of the subscription-only last
couple of fixpacks for Warp 4 anywhere. I believe there were entirely
discontinued around 2007, so I really doubt that IBM cares any more!
There is FP 16, 17 and 18. All were only available on IBM's Software
Choice which is long ago defunct. I never subscribed to SWC so I never got
these. Last W4 FP I have is FP15 which you can get at
