WatchCat 2.1 (C) 1995 by Felix von Normann and Thomas Opheys
All rights reserved.
UNREGISTERED VERSION
Read the documentation (view WATCHCAT.INF) and install with INSTALL.
Start watchcat.exe to have a look at the program.
WatchCat is a program for OS/2 2.x / 3.x that makes it possible to recover
from system hangs that block keyboard and mouse input. WatchCat can be
activated by a hotkey or a hardware switch.
NOTE:
- WatchCat's keyboard activation mechanism is not compatible with the use
of PS/2 (bus-) mice. In such cases, use other mechanisms.
- WatchCat might disable some APM functionality. Turn off WatchCat with
the WPS object to enter hibernation or suspend mode.
- On some computers, there are keyboard problems with the keyboard
activation mechanism. This is due to a timing problem in OS/2's
keyboard drivers. Use the non-device-driver hotkey mechanism or choose
an alternative input method like joystick.
- The new Process Manipulation Center lets you kill processes by forcing
them to generate a breakpoint exception, kill, suspend, resume and change
priorities of single threads of running processes. The unregistered
version of WatchCat only features a demo version of this tool (you can
use above features only five times).
- WatchCat can be activated by CTRL-ALT-DEL. See the documentation.
Enjoy!
