Online CD Inserts and Envelope generator
Although it is not OS/2 related it might be useful for many OS/2 users
This online interface produces Adobe PostScript or Adobe PDF output. The
PostScript file can be printed on a PostScript printer, the PDF file on
any printer if you have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader (or GSView K.S.)
installed on your PC. This online interface also produces a black and
white GIF image which is not suitable for printing, but is good enough for
review purposes, so you can keep tweaking your input trying various
combinations in the web form until you like the way it looks.

CoPlot (scientific & engineering plotting application)
CoPlot is a commerical package, similar to SigmaPlot or perhaps Xact. It
is written in Java, but is very fast (very nice on a PII-300 laptop even).
It is cheaper than either SigmaPlot or Xact. http://www.coplot.com
A free trial is available, and although OS/2 isn't officially supported,
OS/2 startup .CMD files are available in the package. (They mostly work,
with only very minor modification).
If you like to see OS/2 officially supported, they encourage you to
contact them: info@cohort.com

JJSCDROM - Modified OS/2 CD-ROM / CD-RW / DVDs device manager driver
This is a modified version of OS/2 CD-ROM / CD-RW / DVDs device manager
driver (OS2CDROM.DMD), based on the latest OS/2 DDK on-line source code
(DDK_020517).
This driver supports:
- Automatic SCSI-3/MMC-complient drive capability recognition by default,
like as ATAPI drive.
- "CD-Extra" (audio-CD w/additional data session) mounting.
- Feature enabling on a per-unit-basis. These features are:
= turn on "CD-DA readable", "CD-XA readable" and
"multisessioning-aware"
flags
= set vendor-specific SCSI CD-DA digital reading / CD-XA reading /
multi-
sessioning / UPC reading methods for non-SCSI-3/MMC-complient drives
- "WORM-devices as CD-ROM" treatment for some old WORM-style CD-R drives.
- Per-unit-basis "ignore drive" feature.
- Enriched /V option output.
- Additional IOCtl functions that control multisessioning treatment and
track 1 negative start LBA fix (Midbar CDS-200 spoiler).
- Of course functionally equivalent to official OS2CDROM.DMD, including
CD-RW / DVDs writing and formatting, and USB connection support.
