You may be able to sponsor someone to compile the source code for OS/2 / eComStation via the Netlabs sponsorship program, however in the interim a simpler and quicker option may be to try the Windows version (if there is one) under ODIN.

Hi Ed, A windows.exe is available so I guess the binaries would be available. I don't know how to go about sponsoring someone to compile the source code for OS/2 but I'll investigate. At present I just replace my removable drive with one that has Linux installed and use Inkscape that way. Knoppix Live is also useful as it has a phenomenal number of programs. So far I haven't had much luck with ODIN. Can't seem to get it to recognize anything. It seems that development of it has ceased.

Unfortunately when I tried to start the program, it failed as it looked for a windows system component - MSIMG32.DLL. I could still be possible to install this application on a windows machine (or under WXP under VBOX/2) and then collect the missing DLLs and see if it will run.
