First let me say thank you to the OS/2 community.  Over the 
past two years many of my fellow OS/2 users (and 
developers) have given great assistance in maintaining The 
OS/2 Alternative, my list of more than 1,200 native OS/2 
applications linked and categorized with similar Windows 
applications 
(http://www.tstonramp.com/~freiheit/os2apps.shtml).  

All the help wasappreciated and the work was enjoyable.  In 
the past 9 months alone, the main OS/2 Alternative page 
received 23,465 unique accesses, which I consider quite 
impressive for a non-commercial site.

Now, due to decreased time to spend maintaining The OS/2 
Alternative the way I had been (by hand with no database) 
and also due to no CGI-BIN access on my ISP's server, this 
extensive list of OS/2 applications is moving to a new 
location and changing hands.  The good people at os2.org 
have set up a database with search capabilities to provide 
several long-anticipated new features.  The project's new 
name is SoftWhere and can be found at the following URL:

http://en.OS2.org/software/softwhere/

The original OS/2 Alternative pages will continue to 
operate for several weeks while the SoftWhere site is 
updated with new features and more comprehensive 
categorization of applications.  However URL updates
and compliments should begin going to www.os2.org.

The remainder of my own OS/2 web pages will remain where 
they are including the Wealth of OS/2 Information Page, 
OS/2-Friendly Hardware Developers, and Interesting Facts 
About OS/2.  These can be accessed from
