The former are candidates. The latter, well, you will just have to use
your powers of persuasion on the authors.

My initial idea was the that app would be a product of SCOUG and would
freeware, if not GPL. SCOUG would get the benefit of good publicity and
perhaps a few new members.

One of the requirements is souce code must be available to SCOUG, at
least.
>Steven: what app do _you_ have an interest in?
The one that keeps popping up for me is FTPBrowser. It's got the best UI
of the available FTP tools. It appears to be abandoned. It's got a
search function that's extremely useful, when it works. It's got a few
bugs. Everyone wants a good FTP app.
I'm open to any alternative that I believe will get used by a large enough
set of OS/2 users.
