Future enhancements
===================
I plan on adding these enhancements when I have the resources:
- Use IPF style help (when I get the OS/2 Toolkit)
- Combine all the text files into one .INF file (when I get
the OS/2 Toolkit)
- Make into a WPS object (when I actually figure out how to do it)
- Change pointers without shutdown (when I actually figure out how
to do it)
- Preview support (when I actually figure out how to do it)
*** Please note that there may be no new releases of this program
coming out, because I heard that there is another program that
does this (and is also free) called PM Patrol. This is unless I
see a sufficient demand for me to improve on this program in
my mailbox.

Bugs
====
- Using setptr/PM with the #9GXE at 1280x1024 will cause the system
to crash
*** One last side note
If anyone is looking for a OS/2 programming project, I could send
you the design specs for a better setptr/PM. Something which I
cannot do because I do not know how to program in C/C++ (not having
CSet++ does not help either) :)
