EXT2-OS2 VERSION 2.00 BETA (32 BITS)
WHAT IS EXT2-OS2 ?
-------------------
ext2-os2.ifs is a file system driver that allows OS/2 to seamlessly access
Linux native partitions (ext2fs partitions) in both read and write modes.
Once installed, Linux partitions appear as standard OS/2 drive letters, one
per Linux partition. It is a port of the original Linux ext2fs kernel code.
MAIN NEW FEATURES SINCE V0.9 :
-----------------------------
- Well ... the 32 bits port !!
- Swapping on a Linux ext2fs partition is now supported.

DISCLAIMER :
------------
I'm developing this driver during my spare time : even if I work for IBM, IBM
isn't implied in any way with this driver, I develop it at home.
.. Anyway, I hope you'll find it useful, and I'm waiting for your feedback to
keep improving it !
