Hi...

This is the filter I promised. (Or at least an early version of it...)

NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE 

             THIS DRIVER IS STILL ALPHA/BETA SOFTWARE.

NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE 

What is it:
-----------

 This filter allows you to use ext2-os2.ifs to read Linux ext2
 filesystems, without having to edit the partition table. Also,
 this filter avoid the problem of changing drive letters (so no
 more 'unlucky'-guys as per ext2-os2 docs. Even if you linux
 partition was a primary partition. Only the CDROM drive's drive
 letter changes. (Can't do anything about that one...)

Installing it:
-------------

 Copy ext2flt.flt into x:\, x:\OS2 or x:\OS2\BOOT directories, where
 x is the drive letter of your boot drive. Add the line
  BASEDEV=ext2flt.flt
 to your config.sys. If you installed ext2-os2.ifs previously then
 undo all the changes you made to the partition tables. (Change all
 the linux partitions' type back to 0x83). If you haven't installed
 ext2-os2.ifs yet, do so now.

Source code:
------------

 I plan on releasing the source code for this driver when it is
 closer to finished. I used Borland C 3.1 and Tasm to develop the
 driver.

If something goes wrong:
------------------------

 Your problem, not mine. I don't promise that is will work for you.
 If you have problems please mail me the output of the driver and
 a description of your problem, system setup, etc.

 At the moment writing to the linux partitions is disabled.
