PMSTRIKE

Version 1.02e
PMSTRIKE is a programm to make any application visible or in-
visible in the Windowlist. Furthermore you can also determine
whether an application can be reached by pressing [ALT]+[ESC].
This is especially useful when you run a lot of background tasks.
Normally, OS/2 will list most of these programms in the window
list making it hard to find the right entry. The same is true
when cycling through sessions with [ALT]+[ESC].
Usage:
PMSTRIKE [<path and name of the configurationfile>] [<delaytime>]
If you use PMSTRIKE without any parameter, you will see all
sessions with their settings on the WPS in a dialogwindow. To
change a setting just click on the corresponding radiobutton.
You can also use PMSTRIKE with parameters. You can specify the
name of a parameterfile. This file must have the following
structure:
The first character of a valid line must begin with
S for visible or
U for unvisible or
G for gray or
X for don't change this setting.
All lines beginning with another character will be ignored.
The second character must be
A for jumpable or
N for not jumpable or
X for don't change this setting.
The next symbol must be a blank followed by the name of the
session whose status shall be changed.
Example:
You can use PMSTRIKE to get rid of the Lauchpad Entry in the
window list when you load it automatically during system startup.
To remove the Launchpad entry from the window list and the [ALT]+
[ESC] list, you would use the following line in your PMSTRIKE
configuration file:
UN Launchpad
Note that the first two parameters ('U' and 'N') MUST NOT be
separated by a blank.
Comments:
Every line that does not begin with one of the letters listed
above will be ignored by PMStrike. However, commentary lines
should begin with either ';' or '[' to assure that you do not
run into problems with future versions of PMSTRIKE that might use
other letters for some advanced features...
ATTENTION: The contents of the parameterfile are CASE SENSITIVE!
The second parameter can be a delay time in seconds. Since all
programs in the startup-folder (which is a sensible place for
putting PMSTRIKE in...) are starting up simulatnousely, PMSTRIKE
has to make sure that all programs are already up and running
before it tries to change any settings. That is done by telling
PMSTRIKE to wait for a specified time to assure that all apps are
running when it tries to change any settings. You can tell
PMSTRIKE to wait any time between 1 and 60 seconds. (Values
greater than 60 seconds will only produce a 60 seconds delay time
too.)
