USING TASKS
TASKS has three ICONS available for you to choose from the
properties menu. These ICONS are the LyWhit Software logo, RAM FREE
and TASKS. You can choose the ICON that displays the picture that
best describes what you want to use TASKS for.
When TASKS is started the box will appear at the top left corner of
the display. The default is to display all the information. EMS
memory installed, EMS memory used and EMS Driver version will only
be displayed if you are in an EMS mode.
TASKS has two main menu options: "Options" and "Help".
Help has three choices for "Exit", "About" and "Help". "Exit" will
terminate and "About" will display the version number of TASKS.
"Help" will display a message that will tell you to read this file.
On-line help will be implemented with the next version of TASKS.
The Options menu has two choices for "Update Rate..." and "Icon
is...".
"Update Rate" will allow you to change the rate at which TASKS
updates its information. The times range from .10 seconds to 60
seconds. The default rate is .10 seconds.
"Icon is" will allow you to choose what TASKS will display when it
is an ICON. The choices are "Tasks", "Windows Memory Free" or "EMS
Memory Free". The default choice is Tasks. If you are not in an
EMS mode the "EMS Memory Free" choice is disabled.
When you minimize TASKS to an ICON it will display the number you
requested in the ICON. This number will continue to be updated at
the Update Rate that you selected. When the TASKS ICON is enlarged
all the information will be displayed once again.
COMMAND LINE
You can also pass command line options to TASKS. These command line
options tell TASKS which information you want to see in the icon.
The default is Tasks. The other options are:
/W - Show Windows memory available in Icon.
/E - Show EMS memory available in Icon.
The command line option will let you have three sets of TASKS icons
available. Each of the three could have a different option that
would display different information in the Icon.

SEND US ONE DOLLAR ($1) AND WE WILL WRITE MORE
We are releasing TASKS and DRIVES into Shareware at the same time.
We are asking for One Dollar for each of these programs. We are
considering this a type of Vote. If we receive $200 nationwide we
will consider it a YES vote to Windows utilities. If we don't
receive $200 nationwide for these two programs we will consider it
a NO vote to Windows Utilities If we can't get 200 people to send
in $1 across the whole country then we will consider the interest
to be too low to justify writing any more programs.
If the vote is YES we will attempt to release 10 utilities for
Windows 3.0 over the next year. We will ask for One Dollar apiece
for these utilities or $10 for all of them. These will include
Program Launch, Memory Management and various other utilities.
Currently available Windows Utilities for 3.0 are selling for over
$100.
If you would like to vote YES please send One Dollar to :
