- PmSwitch V2.0 is a 32bit PM application written using emx0.8g for
- OS/2 2.x. PmSwitch does not require the presence of the emx*.dll files.
-
- PmSwitch is written beacause I missed the alt-tab feature in windows 3.1
- The only thing in OS/2 that resembles this feature is the alt-esc sequence.
- But using the alt-esc sequence often means that OS/2 switches into
- graphics mode on the way to the desired task. This can be quiet time
- consuming, beside that I personaly find this annoying. I therfore have
- written PmSwitch. Using PmSwitch you can mask tasks from the alt-esc sequence.
- This means that if you mask all tasks except the one you work with, alt-esc
- will become much more usable as a tool for switching *fast* between screen
- groups. After releasing V1.0 i got sevral messages to make the pmswitch
- program configurable so that it could run unattended at system
- startup. So here it is: V2.0
-
- To use PmSwitch just select the task titles you want to remove from the
- alt-esc queue. After you are done just press the OK button.
-
- To configre Pmswitch press the configure key. This will result in a
- new dialog box used to save the exclude wildcards pmswitch uses to
- mask tasks from the alt-esc sequence. The wildcards is case
- insensitive so that the following wildcard 'desk' will match Desktop,
- Desk, FooDesk and so on.. From the right combo box you can select
- active tasks as wildcards or you can type in your own. When you press
- Save the active wildcards is saved in the OS2.INI file so that they
- can be easely read by Pmswitch.
-
- When Pmswitch runs it will reread the task list every 30 Seconds and
- reapply the wildcards.
-
- To have Pmsitch automaticly minimize itself at startup just add dummy argument to pmswitch.exe
-
- PmSwitch is freeware, not public domain. This means that you can use/copy
- PmSwitch as mutch as you want as long that you dont charge anything for it.
-
- I am not making any guaraties about PmSwitch. You use PmSwitch soly at
- your own risk. However I don't thisk that PmSwitch would case serious harm
- to your system.
