Sandy, I think option #1 is the only thing you can do. I don't believe that you can simply
access the same programs, just as they are, but now using ECS. In most cases you
have to INSTALL the programs into the OS. That usually means updating the
CONFIG.SYS, updating the OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI files and/or perhaps initializing
and using any *.INI files that come with the program.

As an example, I had a desktop corruption problem several days ago. After finding out
what caused it, I had to get rid of it. I did that by going back and using the OS2.INI and
OS2SYS.INI files from several days prior. Then, I found out that my installations of
FutureWave Editor and EEEnhanced Editordid not work properly. FutureWave ran, but
it gave me a notice that I had to register it?? EEEnhanced refused to run. The problem
was that the information from the installation of those 2 programs was no longer on the
OS2*.INI files, because I had replaced them with older versions, ones I had before I
installed the 2 editors.
