Extended Software Development
KernelController Version 1.0
Installation
------------
The installation of this program is very easy. First, create a new directory
for kc and give this dir the name "kc:" (with the CLI-command assign, e.g.
"assign kc: work:kc"). Then the files kc and actualizer to "kc:".
Now you can start kc.
The WinBar
----------
If you want to use the WinBar only, you need not read the rest of this doc.
Start KernelController with the option "winbar" (e.g. "kc:kc winbar").
The program opens a new bar at the bottom of the WB-Screen with all opened
windows. Click on the window you want to put into the front of the screen.
If you want a menu with some commands hold the shift key down and click on
the window you want.
The command of the menu:
-Zip Window
Maximises or minimises the window (like the gadget in the titlebar of the
window)
-Win to back
Puts the window into the background of the screen
-Close Window
Closes the window
WARNING!! This command kills the window, but not the task, this may corrupt
your system!!!
-Kill Task
Kills the task of the window
WARNING!!! This command do not quit the task, it kills the task at any time,
this may corrupt your system!!!
If you want to start the WinBar in your Startup-Sequence, write in the
Startup-Sequence BETWEEN "c:LoadWB" and "c:EndCLI":
wait 10 sec
kc:kc winbar
This is the best position.
The Tasks-Window
----------------
This function opens a window with all waiting tasks of the system.
You can chose a task and press "kill" to kill this task, BUT BE CAREFULL,
it may corrupt your system!
Start KernelController with the option "tasks" (e.g. "kc:kc tasks").
If you only want to use this function, you need not read the rest of this
doc.
