Nearly the same machine as I possess. Only with 40 instead 8 MB.

I use the LIST program from Vernon Buerg since ages. It is a DOS-program.
I don't know where it is available. A lot of OS/2 programs have been made

Yes you must have FixPak 37 at minimum. 40 is out and 41 is coming soon.

You can deal with the complete package that includes the install package.
