==Description==
The idea of the project is to provide a set of tools which are not part of the shrink wrapped OS/2 package, very much like the GNU Utilities package available for Unix systems. Some of the provided tools and utilities are OS/2 specific.

The tools are not only meant as simple OS/2 ports of those available unix tools, but integrate OS/2 specific extensions and enhancements.

Basically, I started to write those tools back in 1997 (maybe partially even earlier) and collected them over time. Finally in 2001 the project makes it to Netlabs and is converted to an Open Source project.

===News===
====Build system for OS/2 Tools is up and running====
The so far missing build system for OS/2 Tools is up and running, yet it only supports OS/2, Debug, IBM VisualAge C++ for OS/2 3.08. So for the developers or daring users, executables can be produced now. A brief invitation for volunteers should not be lacking: some tools need some polish :) Have fun, Patrick Haller

====An ancient project finally made it to Netlabs ...====

Finally ... after starting work on some OS/2 tools even back in 1995, it took six years to get the project finally on Netlabs. As of current, the project is not really beneficial for everybody, since the build system is missing. As soon as we've to a build system that neatly produces the executable images, they will be offered for download immediately. So guess, what's on top of the priority list.

OS/2 Tools is about a set of command line tools, some small PM utilities, and some results of experimental OS/2 kernel hacking. So even if you don't feel the need to use DF, DU, ..., you might find some interesting source snippets there.

Happy hacking !
