David has worked on AHCI and released a new version to iron out problems with HDs reporting back wrong status info. I am sure Mensys wants this to go into the distribution. But it needs to be tested on as many machines as possible (in order to prevent regressions) and finally it has to go into the production tree.
David has worked on ACPI to work around some systems that give incorrect returns on some ACPI method invocations. For the rest, see 1)
David and me we are working on USB. The short range goal is to have USB keyboards and mice work for say 98% of the people (over the years I learned that with USB you will never reach the 100%).
We are already working on USBEHCD.SYS,USBOHCD.SYS,USBUHCD.SYS,USBKBD.SYS,USBMOUSE.SYS and USBHID.SYS to get this problem fixed.
Unfortunately, USB is a "driver stack" and not an individual driver ...
Zippy is the most advanced archive manager for IBM OS/2 and eComStation
operating systems. It allows browse and extract files from any
archive (all popular formats are supported). It helps you create
standard Zip and 7z archives.
eCo Software is able create several useful applications and
libraries for eComStation / IBM OS/2 Warp during the next few monthes.

One of the prototypes: utility aimed to print postal labels (for label printers)
(project #723)

(output: ready for use postal label)

eCo Software is working on eComStation / IBM OS/2 Warp market
since the 90-th. We are specialized in development of native software (and hybrids).
Rexx for Android has been officially released as open source software.
It is available at Google Play, and the source code repository is on
Jaxo's github: https://github.com/Jaxo/yaxx The git repository also
contains a pre-compiled version (Rexxoid.apk) ready to be downloaded
to android devices. "Rexx for Android" descends from the Rexx
implementation that Joe Latone and Pierre Richard wrote in early 2000.
Joe and Pierre were employed as Researcher at the IBM TJ Watson Center
in the mid 80's, and there they met Mike Cowlishaw and his Rexx vision.
Twenty years later, they have realized their own implementation
of Rexx in C++. Designed with portability in mind, it was aimed at
running on mobile devices (Palm OS, at the time), beside the classic
Windows and Linux. This port to Android was started in 2010 and a
preview was shown in 2011. RexxLA thanks Pierre Richard for completing
this magnificent implementation and donating it to the world.
P.S. REXX is the general (system) scripting language in eComStation / IBM OS/2 Warp.

Dropbox is a file hosting service operated by Dropbox, Inc., that offers cloud storage, file synchronization, and client software. Dropbox allows users to create a special folder on each of their computers, which Dropbox then synchronizes so that it appears to be the same folder (with the same contents) regardless of which computer is used to view it. Files placed in this folder also are accessible through a website and mobile phone applications.
