Butch,

Recognize that you asked a vvvvvery loaded question. With regard to
computers and software, everyone has his or her own personal likes and
"absolute best way of doing things." Therefore, the responses you get
will be a little bit biased by the giver. That being said, here goes.

I am going to break up my list into three (2) categories as follows:

1. MUST HAVE utilities to properly maintain your system (the OS2*.INI
files):
A. UniMaint
http://www.filestar.com/

B. Checkini; freeware
http://www.os2ss.com/information/kelder/

C. Cleanini; freeware
http://home.t-online.de/home/C.Arnold/e/

2. SHOULD HAVE utilities to help you maintain your system:
A. Filestar (folder and file management utility)
http://www.filestar.com/

B. Back Again/2000 (backup software); $99.00
http://www.cds-inc.com

C. WarpZip; $29.00
http://www.bmtmicro.com/

D. XWorkplace; freeware
http://www.netlabs.org/

E. WarpIn; freeware
http://www.netlabs.org/

F. Association Editor; freeware
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/

G. WarpTools; freeware
http://www.os2ss.com/information/kelder/

Well, there's a ton of other stuff I could list. However, the above is a
good start. There are several good places you can go to to get good OS/2
software. Some of it freeware, some of it not:

3. OS/2 Software sites:
A. Hobbes; http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/

B. BMT Micro; http://www.bmtmicro.com/

C. OS/2 BBS; http://www.os2bbs.com/

D. Mensys Home; http://www.mensys.nl/indexuk.html

E. Netlabs; http://www.netlabs.org/

Use the search facilities at each site. You will probably find what you
want
