Processorize is Public Domain, I release all rights to it, you may sell it, give it away, change anything you want, and otherwise abuse it to your hearts content.

Please let me know if you find any bugs or have any ideas for features to add.
I like getting notes from people who use my software, so I'd appreciate a note letting me know where you picked it up and how you like it.

The purpose of Processorize is to let you know what's happening within your Mac, I wrote it because I was interested in exploring some of the new routines which come with system 7,  and am releasing it because I thought others might find some of the information of value.

I have included balloon help throught the application in case you want a quick reference for some of the items.

ABOUT THE PROCESS MANAGER

The Process Manager is System 7's replacement of Multi-Finder, it keeps track of the currently running applications and desk accessories, launches new processes, and manages switching between processes.

Through the Process Manager,  any application can control these functions and replicate many of the actions of the Finder. Processorizer goes to an extreme in that it tries to use all the functions and display all the information the Process Manager provides.

USING PROCESSORIZE

Processorize lets you see all running processes, when you start it up, you will get a list of the running processes. 

Click on the name of a process in the list to get information about it. Use balloon help to find out what the different information means.

Double clicking on a process' name will bring that procss to the front. You can also click on the "Bring Process to Front" button to do this.

To start a new process, click on the "Launch New Process…" Button. You will be able to launch any application, desk accessory, or the Finder. You will be given a standard dialog to select the process to launch. After selecting an application or the Finder, you will be presented with a dialog letting you select several launch parameters. Use balloon help to discover what the parameters mean.

You can kill a running process by clicking on the "Kill Process" button. You wll only be able to kill processes which accept AppleEvents. It is up to the process to handle the 'quit' AppleEvent and all well written processes should behave as expected.

HAVE FUN!!!
