Hmmm. The zip extracts to .img files, which means I'd have to create floppies from those.  I think I have a USB floppy drive somewhere, but even if I do, I'm not sure whether VirtualBox will suport it.

I've been scouring the internet for the native OS/2 version (which has the benefit of allowing Rexx scripting in addition to the value/event tree logic) but aside from a few references to it in passing, no one seems to have it, not even old software shops or abandonware sites.

So, if anyone does come across a copy of the native OS/2 version, I'd be very grateful if they'd let me know.

If you are using vbox I think it will read standard img files as if they were floppies.

Not knowing if you have a physical install of OS/2 or are using a VM, I can't be specific but will give a general overview.

If you have available an OS/2 or windows computer then go to http://dvalot.free.fr/emtcopy.htm and download the relevant version and install. this will do all that is necessary to extract disk images to either a physical floppy (usb or installed) or a virtual floppy.  For a virtual floppy on OS/2 see the attached vfdisk40.zip (I've attached it because hobbes is down at the moment). The readme gives instructions for use - I am not sure if this will work in a VM, I don't see why not if there is enough memory available but I have never tried it.

If you use a virtual floppy remember to copy the files to disk before you make the next one. 

Jean-Yves:
Thanks Ivan.
