Reformat Утилита для форматирования USB флешек, USB винчестеров (для совместимости с OS/2)

Beta-testing, 0 distance

The experience of previous 25 years demonstrates that: every new feature for OS/2 requires several years of development, usually new modules are included to OS with delay: 3 years, 5 years or 10 years.

It's wrong!

New functions should be available today. At coming friday, not in 2030 year.

OS installer should offer list of beta-versions of new modules (new 30 - 50 experimental modules).

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.

"SVISTA a-la Vista"

We have released SVISTA/2 virtual machine in 2004,

Eugene Gorbunoff have combined "Serenity Virtual Station" to spanish "Vista".

"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.

USB Flash in OS/2

OS/2 doesn't support Windows USB FAT32 flash disks. You should re-format USB flash disk in OS/2 to FAT32. After this you can use this USB flash in Windows AND OS/2.

Report: OS/2 compatible hardware

Every year eCo Software was publishing a report what computer to select for OS/2. Report: OS/2 compatible hardware

Video conferences in OS/2

Skype was created in 2003. Video-conferences sofware was available for OS/2 in 90-th (not available now)

ArcaOS 5.1.1 - DOS works again

DOS virtual machine works again (it was working on Core 2 Duo, and didn't for i5). Install ArcaOS in UEFI mode to use DOS VM.

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.
