   Well, I'm not sure anyone really cares much, but I did.   
      
   The branch I've been working on is called 'ng'.   
      
   https://github.com/zoomosis/artware/tree/ng   
      
   Over the years I'd completely forgotten what an absolutely mess some of the   
   code was. Especially timEd.   
      
   Anyway, at this point it's possible for anyone to rebuild NetMgr & timEd for   
   OS/2 from the source now on GitHub using OpenWatcom 1.9.   
      
   Windows versions of NetMgr and timEd can also be built, but timEd in Windows   
   is completely unusable due to bugs in Gerard van Essen's incomplete code that   
   I'm not able to easily fix.   
      
   Also beware the Y2K bugs haven't been patched on the source on GitHub.   
      
   Once those are patched, potentially the Windows version of NetMgr (which has   
   JAM support) could be used under WINE in Linux but I'd advise people to test   
   it first.   
      
   The build environment requires that drive letter X: points to the root of the   
   ARTWARE directory.   
      
   In Windows you can use the SUBST command with UNC paths:   
      
   subst x: \\server\src\artware   
      
   In OS/2 life is more complicated as the builtin SUBST command only works in   
   OS/2's DOS box. Instead you need to download and install SUBSTP, then mount   
   the root of the UNC path on a drive letter:   
      
   net use s: \\server\src   
      
   then use SUBSTP:   
      
   substp x: s:\artware   
      
   From here, assuming OpenWatcom 1.9 is installed properly, you can rebuild   
   Gerard's MSGAPI:   
      
   x:   
   cd \api   
      
   then type "nt" or "os2" to build it.   
      
   Likewise, NetMgr can be built the same way (cd netmgr, etc).   
      
      
   I had to rewrite the makefile for timEd because OpenWatcom 1.9's wmake didn't   
   support the old makefile syntax.   
      
   timEd can now be rebuilt with:   
      
   x:   
   cd \timed\build   
   wmake OS=OS2   
      
   (or OS=WIN for Windows, OS=386 for DOS4GW)   
      
   At some point I'll probably fix the makefiles properly to get rid of the drive   
   X: requirement and just have the build process work on relative paths.
