A couple weeks back, I got my hands on an old 486 box and the MS version of OS/2 1.1 and 1.3. With 1.1 especially, I am shocked to thing that Windows XP has it's origins in that OS. The whole thing, despite how advanced it was in 1989, seems like such a childs toy today.

Well, with that aside, I wonder if anyone here would happen to have any useful software for that old OS.

There is someone at http://www.os2world.com that is using those versions (at least has them).

I have the more curretn version of eCS (1.1) from http://www.ecomstation.com . I really like it.

I've actually seen those articles in the past. Very good reading for anyone who wants to know about the old versions of OS/2, before presentation and manager were even ued in the same pharase or sentence.
