PhotoRec

and

TestDisk

for OS/2 / eComStation

---

From the README:
"TestDisk checks the partition and boot sectors of your disks. It is very useful in recovering lost partitions."

"PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost pictures from digital camera memory or even Hard Disks. It has been extended to search also for non audio/video headers."

I have built a binary package for OS/2 / eComStation.
Here is the link to the latest version:

• TestDisk and PhotoRec 6.13 compiled for OS/2
• also available, the previous versions TestDisk and PhotoRec 6.10 compiled for OS/2
  and TestDisk and PhotoRec 6.10 compiled for OS/2
• Additional needed to run the program: gcc-3.3.5-csd3-runtime (libc063.dll)
• Current restriction: This OS/2 version works only with imagefiles.
  Imagefiles from disks can be created with dd or dfsee for example.
  For full functionality src/hdaccess.c would need OS/2-specific modifications.
  If someone has time/knowledge to do this job... would be nice ;-)
• See the included readme.os2 for further details
  

Building for OS/2 is easy using a standard toolset and GCC 3.3.5 for OS/2
with the following exeption: You need a recent ncurses library that works with GCC3.3.5.
Fortunately Dmitry Froloff helped me out with this. Many Thanks
