How to install eCS and OS/2
Some time ago, I produced detailed installation guides for OS/2 Warp 4,
OS/2 Warp Server for e-Business and eComStation that reflect then
current hardware and assume a networked environment.
I have continued to write guides for OS/2 topics as OS/2 was withdrawn,
as eComStation developed, then slowed and stopped, and as ArcaOS
was released and new development increased.
