For Windows 2000 there is Windows Services for UNIX. It includes a "full" set of UNIX-tools and gcc.
Have a look at the library, it should be there. Also I posted on offers section a topic with 4 different versions including needed serials.
Is that what you a talking about? I am not sure if I got you right. If you want POSIX programs compiled for OS2 running on Win2000 I cant help you.
I found DisplayWrite 4 2.0 for OS/2 1.0 in the library. I mounted the disk images to a virtual floppy drive and it installed successfully but I got this when trying to execute it:
I can see why they abandoned the subsystem in XP/Server 2003.
There is a Windows NT 4.0 Presentation Manager add-on which I have. I'm not sure if it works on 2000 though.

Thanks for the UNIX stuff. It does seem interesting.
However I'll expand my inquiry to: do any OS/2 1.x textmode applications exist? I can't find any information about them.
As I remember the OS/2 subsystem on NT / Windows 2000 self identified as MS OS/2 version 1.3 and will run command line programs from that version such as ANSI.EXE,ATTRIB.EXE,BACKUP.EXE,CMD.EXE,COMP.COM,DISKCOPY.COM,FIND.EXE,LINK.EXE,MORE.COM,RESTORE.EXE,REXX.DLL,REXXAPI.DLL,REXXINIT.DLL,SORT.EXE,STARTREX.CMD,STARTUP.CMDTREE.COM, and UNPACK.EXE. I use to experiment with this stuff which was interesting but not very useful. More useful was that it could run the programmer editor spfpc version 4.0 using a modified version of spf16.exe (the 16 bit os/2 exe from that product) and Microsoft Word 5.0 which was a dual DOS and OS/2 executable that would by default under NT / Windows 2000 run as an os/2 1.x application.

OS/2 1.0 had no GUI. As a result, there were many OS/2 1.x text-mode programs. They are kind of hard to find because everyone threw them away.

Yeah, some day you don't want co carry around all the old stuff anymore, that has been around for 20 years...
