Alternative Versions
- The OS2Linux (Open Source - Common Public License) tried to clone some of the functions of Control Program to run on the Linux OS. [10]
- The Phoenix OS/4 is aimed to try to generate an OS/2 kernel clone/replacement. It also included some replacement for the Control Program.
- The OSFree Project generated some of the forwarder's DLLs of this component.
