FileManager/2 (FM/2) es una utilidad  de mantenimiento de ficheros/directorios/archivos freeware para PM 32-bit OS/2 (warp)/ eCS  (una especie de objeto super-Drives, algo entre los objetos 'Disco' y un gestor de ficheros más tradicional) con una gran cantidad de características y utilidades, arrastrar y soltar y teclas aceleradoras.

Esta versión ha sido convertida a Open Watcom. Contiene corrección de arrores, y un instalador Warpin.

En Hobbes: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/browser/fm2-3-6-0.zip

Las fuentes están en http://svn.netlabs.org/fm2

Hay un grupo de soporte en http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/fm2user/

// The utilities aren't included in this package. If you installed version 3.5.9 with the utilities, it is not necessary to install them again. If you don't have the utilities installed, download 3.5.9 from Hobbes and extract the utilities wpi and put it in the same directory as your 3.6.0 build and run the 3.6.0 install. It will then give you the option of installing the utilities along with build 3.6.0.

If you are a programmer and always wanted a feature added, but did not have the build environment, this should no longer be the case since the source now builds with Open Watcom. Source files can be obtained from
http://svn.netlabs.org/fm2

Enjoy!
