Hello

I had been uploading some old OS/2 software that was missing on Hobbes these days. Nothing extraordinary, but I think that some of those REXX scripts and little shareware software deserve to be back on hobbes organized in a proper way.

With the exception of the noise in the "/new" page, since it is the only way I have to upload files, I always put the latest update date of the software for people not to confuse it with something new.

If you have any suggestion of what is missing, let me know. Remember that on hobbes we are putting only Freeware/Shareware/Demos/Public/Open Source OS/2 related software.

Also, any let me know any other improvement suggestion that you may want to see on Hobbes to discuss it with the developer.

Regards

Hello

I'm happy I finished reviewing the OS/2 the files at:
- http://cd.textfiles.com/ems/emspro17/disk3/OS2UTIL/

I thought I was only going to find some old versions of the software that were already on Hobbes, but I found some old software missing there.  I had uploaded it to Hobbes describing their last update date.

If you find any mistake or unusual thing on Hobbes Archive just let me know.

Have you looked at some of the Walnut Creek Hobbes ISO's floating around? They have some interesting stuff on them, plus it is interesting looking at older versions of Hobbes.

Hello

I created a Groups.io mailing list for Hobbes Archive.
https://warp.groups.io/g/HobbesArchive

My goal it is to communicate with Nathan and the public any issues of improvements for Hobbes Archive. But I'm still not sure if the group will work out. Let's see if it works.

Hello

About the reorganization of Hobbes, I think that that new site is well organized and have useful stuff for the community.

I'm on a phase where I got little by little checking things/files missing in Hobbes Archive and uploading the content. 

I'm still following these rules that we discussed on this forum:
1) Hobbes has Freeware/Shareware/Open Source/Demos/Public distribution/Public Domain/freely-distributable files.
2) Hobbes should have the latest version of every OS/2 software. Exception applies for unstable versions, drivers, libraries, development software, etc.
3) My Upload File Naming Convention that is 100% optional.

Please let me know:
1) Any improvements that you think may be useful for the site. I can discuss them with Nathan.
2) Any files that Hobbes is missing.
3) Help is always welcome to search old OS/2 files sources and find missing stuff in Hobbes. You are free to chat about that findings here.

There is also a mailing list only for Hobbes Archive subjects here: https://warp.groups.io/g/HobbesArchive
