This thread means to collect all available tools and utitilities for the EF2000 game. I might update the opening post with more information, when they become available.
Super Revive:
Tool to edit the active campaign scenario (nuking and repairing bases, changing aircraft types, rotating aircraft in and out of reserve, changing allegiances etc.)
EF2000 Change Planes Utility
This tool allows planes to be swapped for other types within the active campaign.
EF2000 Campaign Status
A tool to read the current campaign status (statistical information that are more comprehensive than in game).
EF2000 Statistics Utility
This tool as like the Campaign Status, but with a better user interface. There is also an executable that reads the mission file (next 8 hours) listing the missions scheduled by ATO.
EF2000 Mission
Just an example addon mission.
EF2000 Missions & Batch file
Some addon missions and a batch file to support creation of addon missions
Strategic Command
Comprehensive tool for campaign editing. Never used it myself thus far and there have been reports about problems making it run. There is a comprehensive manual included.
EF2000 Tools & Utilities
Re: EF2000 Tools & Utilities
I had a look at 'Strategic Command' years ago, and from I remember it was very version specific. I wonder if it came out before DiD did the Tactcom upgrade, and whether it was sanctioned at all by DiD.

Re: EF2000 Tools & Utilities
Not sure when SC came out exactly, but the manual states 1997. So definitely after TACTCOM.
Re: EF2000 Tools & Utilities
Wow! we both participated in this thread about SC (and EF2000 in general) in 2010. Lots I'd forgotten...

Re: EF2000 Tools & Utilities
EFUTIL entry is updated, managed to run it using the "Wimevdm" tool.
https://github.com/otya128/winevdm/releases
The good thing about this tool is that you can not only run 16 bit setups and old executables, there is a winhelp function included, discovered it by coincidence. You can use it to work with the old "HLP" files!
As the tool is freeware and you can obtain the sourcecode from the link above there might be some room to support such functionality from a front end to run old 16 bit installers or obtain a help file. Maybe such stuff could be included in another Reloaded release.
