Hello Mentore

Can you reply asking if they agreed to turn it "as is freeware", if they agree, we can get at least the binaries to be available for free at hobbes.

Regards.

Actually I did ask again to state it as public domain - they just answered they don't have the source code anymore. Going to write them again, being more specific.

BTW I'm back porting software and I'm trying to do something interesting in emulation, electronic and music. Keep fingers crossed 'cause I'm experiencing some problems with CMake.

That's great. Just create a new thread and post the software if you want me to help with some testing.

BREAKING. Answer from SlickEdit staff:

Can you send us an installation of the OS/2 version via a cloud link like google drive?

If so, we will figure out a way to make it freely available. We should be able to add a link to our website which references the installer and indicates it's free. It will ultimately be uploaded to dropbox which we currently use for all installers.


Please can someone share an installation package for VSE OS/2 latest version? I don't have access to my commercial software archive and, for the life of me, I seem unable to find it online.
