Hi Peter
For me 4OS2 is a Must-Have !!
I am using 4OS2 for years and find / found it quite helpful and
interesting.
There are some work-easing helpers and some more higher features.

Just one sample:
After a while one has many other files of CONFIG.* !
Normally one has to erase each unneeded CONFIGs one for one.
With 4OS2 you enter one command i.e.

delete *.0* *.BAK *.SDD *.S8*

and all these files will be deleted in one step ;-)
There are much more helpers & tricks like this ;-))

There is a manual (1" thick) full with hints, recommendations &
tricks ;-)))
I never went into that very seriously ;-(

Unfortunately it seems that the tool may have some problems with
the
higher versions of OS/2 i.e. MCP 4.51 or 4.52 perhaps eCS too !?!

Another misfit is the OS/2 version displayed like following:

-----------------------------------------------
<< WS220 ** FiRE >> C:\ >ver /r

4OS2 3.03B OS/2 Version is 4.05
4OS2 Revision B (151) OS/2 Revision A
4OS2 S/N 0101010101, registered to *** name ***
for use on a single computer. May not be distributed to others.
-----------------------------------------------

My system is on FP16 and has kernel 14.091b !

If you get it for free: I would try it
As a user with some experience I would try to get the package
with the manual as a guide to have a written good guide !!
Get it as long it's possible.

Good luck,
svobi

Anybody have any comments pro or con on these free JP Software
programs?

4OS2
Take Command for OS/2

(http://www.jpsoft.com/download.htm)

In other words, are they worth installing?

Thanks,
