ECT-splines, the EC meaning ``extended Chebyshev'', are a very general approach to splines, among other conditions defined via prescribed sequences of knots, knot intervals, multiplicities and totally positive connection matrices. One can then study spline curves of this kind and, as far as this detailed paper is concerned, more specifically ECT-B-splines (in analogy to the standard B-splines) and their computation. Such B-splines provide a partition of unity, have minimal compact support and form a basis of the ECT-spline space. Recursive algorithms for their creation are given and several examples for illustration. Also, generating functions of B-splines are studied as well as the definition of the B-splines as generalised divided differences.
