PRESENTATION MANAGER PROCESS STATUS (PMps) v1.10 (09 Jun 94)
PMps is a shareware utility program for OS/2 2.0 and 2.1. It displays
a graphical view of running processes and allows you to get detailed
information about processes or kill them.
PMps uses both mouse buttons, see online help for more information.
PMps is shareware, see 'Registration Information' in the online help
for details.
Two command line utilities are provided: ps.exe and kill.exe. ps gives
a Un*x like process status output, and kill allows a process to be
killed given its id (in decimal or hex).
If you wish to uninstall PMps, run uninst.cmd. This removes PMdiff
information from the OS/2 ini files.
You may like to try PMdiff, a graphical file comparison program by the
same authors. It is available at the usual ftp sites (ftp.cdrom.com)
and from the authors.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unzip the file pmps.zip using Info-ZIP's unzip (version 5.0 or later).
Presumably, you have already done this, since you are reading this
file ;-)
Copy pmps.hlp to a directory in your help path. If you are unsure
where to put pmps.hlp, copy it to x:\os2\help, where 'x' is the drive
letter where OS/2 is installed.
Copy pmps.exe to somewhere convenient.
If you wish to create a Workplace Shell object for PMps, drag a
program object from the 'Templates' folder, and type the path and file
name for the pmps.exe executable.
KNOWN PROBLEMS
If you close PMps or shutdown your system when PMps is minimized or
hidden, PMps will not be visible when it is next started. To correct
this, choose PMps from the WPS window list and select 'Cascade' from
the pop-up menu.
