OS2LDR Replacements

Alternative Version

ArcaOS Loader 1.7

QSINIT

There is a OS2LDR alternative called QSINIT which is a OS2LDR replacement made form scratch and gives more functionality to the regular OS/2 loader. Currently it is freeware for non-commercial use and the source code is also available.

FreeLDR

FreeLDR is a project created by David C. Zimmerli to create a replacement loader for OS/2. The source code was posted in conjunction with the "A Project to Replace OS2LDR" article.

Phoenix OS/4

Phoenix OS/4 project also produced an OS2LDR replacement. It is close source and works with the OS/4 kernel produced on the same package.
