EXITMAN Version 2.0
Introduction
============
EXITMAN is a windows utility which gives the user the ability to
exit windows, restart windows or reboot the system at any time.
EXITMAN is designed to stay out of your way by remaining minimized
whenever any other application receives focus. By adding EXITMAN to
your windows Startup group, you will be able to exit, restart or reboot
at any time, with minimal effort.
The feature of Exit Manager which sets it apart from all other exit
programs is its ability to attach to menus and to run in three seperate
modes. By selecting the Attach To Menus, Exit Manager will append
Exit Windows, Restart Windows and Reboot System menu items to the system
menu of all running Windows applications. This means, no matter where
you are, you have immediate access to Exit Manager's features.
Also, Exit Manager provides three modes of operation; interactive,
immediate and invisible. In interactive mode, Exit Manager provides a
sharp 3D interface from which you can choose to initiate any of Exit
Manager's features. In immediate mode, you can specify command line options
which will cause Exit Manager to exit, restart or reboot immediately!
This way you can create program items for each feature and execute them
without any further interaction. Finally, in invisible mode, Exit Manager
can be configured to start up with no splash screens, attach to system menus,
and then remove itself from the desktop (leaving no icon on the desktop).
By adding Exit Manager (in invisivle mode) to your StartUp group, you will
add a feature to your system that Windows left out!
Refer to the on-line help for more information on all of these features.
EXITMAN is a Visual Basic program. This means as long as EXITMAN
is running (including minimized), VBRUN300.DLL is loaded in memory.
Therefore, any other Visual Basic application you have will load faster
since VBRUN300.DLL is already loaded.
NEW TO VERSION 2.0!!!!!!
========================
Exit Manager now includes a complete install program, an uninstall program
and a complete help system. Application provides context
sensitive help by pressing F1 at any time. Command line options were also
