Recently I contacted two former OS/2 developers, whose (very good)
products are mostly forgotten now. They are no longer interested in
continuing development, and they gave me the sources, which I'm now 
donating to anyone interested, because I have no time to do it
myself.

Ideally, I would give the sources to Netlabs, but I thought it would
be good to let it be known to other developers. 

*I'll choose who to give them to.*

The first program is PageMage, a very good and very promising (at the
time of its demise) virtual desktop program. At the time of its
demise, PageMage was at the fourth beta, quite useful and quite
stable. The sources include beta 3 (more stable) and beta 4 (more
features).

The second program is WPSBackup, a very good program to archive you
OS/2 Desktop. WPSBackup was a shareware program, but I'll donate the
sources ONLY to someone who gives me warranty to remove the locking
code and release a freeware version (NOTE: I was a  registered user).
WPSBackup is works well with many Warp 4  installations, but in some
cases it fails reporting a failure in copying OS2.INI. The real error
message is "Failed to enumerate  keys for
appl:PM_Workplace:Location". Since WPSBackup is a good and snappy
tool (had to recover my Desktop a couple times: it worked  very
well), I'd love to see it revamped.

Both the authors of Pagemage and WPSBackup ask that they're
remembered in the docs of the new (eventual) application, and that 
they're not held responsible for what people may do with their
sources.

So, contact me if you're interested at: criguada@tin.it
