General

This is where my OS/2-ECS related stuff gets thrown. I use Open Watcom∞ for all my projects. I also use the GCC compiler for some stuff, however, Paul Smedley has done some super OS/2 ports∞ with Knut St. Osmundsen's GCC∞. Comments to mike at mgreene.org. Feel free to register and add comments here. I would like to leave all pages open for comments, but the spammers strike. Registering with a fake email and name is fine. I also leave a couple IRC channels open, I might be around or might not (MikeG): irc.ecomstation.com #netlabs and #ecs channels. or irc.freenode.net #watcom

I toss anything I come across on the BLOG link∞ above. I don't know about this socal networking stuff, but blogs make great scratch pads.
