I am just wondering if anyone is working on porting BOINC and SETI/BOINC to run on OS/2 and eComStation?

I would be glad to assist with any porting efforts that might be underway.

If you get no help please do it on your own.
My OS/2 machine is waiting. I'll definitely use it :-)

I don't believe that there any plans to support OS2, but the source is freely available (http://boinc.ssl.berkeley.edu) and anyone is welcome to port it to whatever platform is needed.

There are a small team in work for porting boinc and seti to OS/2.
Have a search around in the forums.

OK, I will correct my statement. There are no plans for Berkeley to generate an OS2 version, but the source is available for the port. And from the post I quoted, it seems as if someone is working on it.
