All OS/2 apps on the 2-nd DVD

Let's look at linux penguins - they were delivering thousands of apps on the CD with OS distrib.

We should use this method, every OS/2 should received 1000 apps on the 2-nd DVD with OS.

Zero reaction

Many developers of OS/2 applications were working several monthes on a project, but get 0 feedback, 0 reaction.

1) The age of OS/2 users is high, they are watching but don't spend efforts to "send likes" to every project. 2) In current situation, it's necessary create products for 100% of the users, don't make special products.

What to do? (we don't have advice)

Unique OS/2 User Interface

OS/2 is diffrent from other systems thanks to unique User Interface.

ACPI driver

eCo Software: ACPI driver have reanimated OS/2 in 2005. As result, We can use the system today, in 2025.

"Multi-language of OS/2"

eCo Software have create LANGE library for the developers. All messages in the code of your program are written on english. The library loads translated text from resource file.

Device drivers in OS/2

Major part of OS/2 drivers are universal. Ethernet drivers are full-featured, Video: VESA with acceleration, Audio - based on linux ALSA.

You can't stop time flow..

When UEFI and other barriers appeared, we said: it's not important what is changing in the computers. You can always install OS/2 to Used Core 2 Duo PC.

Time goes and we see that OS/2 must support new models of computers because old generations are not available. don't fit the requirements.

Voice control was integrated to OS/2 Warp 4 in 1996

OS/2 can't access memory

Usually OS/2 can use 4 Gb (3.5 Gb) of RAM. BUT, For new computers (let's say, manufactured after 2017 and newer), OS/2 can access 2 Gb, 1.5 Gb or less.

(not translated)

Main idea: during two hours people are discussing OS/2 without knowing what is it.
