- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- To users of previous FSTS versions:
-
- New in version 2.3:
- FSTS 2.2 was released with a few minor faults including a wrong
- version of FSTSDOS.EXE!! I'am **REALLY** sorry!
- If you have FSTS 2.2, please throw it away and use this
- version 2.3 instead...
-
- This version fixes a problem with FSTS 2.1 running on OS/2 2.11.
- Besides that, DOS support has been optimized and is working
- better than before. The response time under OS/2 full-screen
- sessions is also better in this version.
- In the very near future FSTS 3.0 will be released with the following
- new features (I hope!):
- - use of a virtual device driver instead of FSTSDOS.EXE
- in each dos session. This will save memory and make
- FSTS more flexible.
- - WIN-OS2 support. Allows you to switch task from within
- a windows session.
- - feature to close a session from the FSTS task list
- - feature to create a new session from the FSTS task list.
-
-
- Please, please let me know what you think about all this.
- If you have any comments or features you would like to see,
- don't hesitate to e-mail me (address at end of document).

-
-
- FSTS is a program that makes switching from one full screen (OS/2 or DOS)
- to another a snap (By the touch of a single key!)
-
- FSTS installs itself in the PM session, all OS/2 full screen sessions and
- optionally DOS sessions.
- FSTS monitors the keyboard for certain HOT-KEYS.
-
- The following HOT-KEYS is recognized by FSTS:
-
-
- <left-ctrl> + <left-alt> : Brings up FSTS menu for selection
- between the available full screens.
-
-
- <left-ctrl> + <1> to <9> : Selects a specifik session
- <1> is the first started
- <2> is the second started
- <3> is the ...
-
-
- <left-ctrl> + <0> : Session intro mode.
- Shows you each full screen session
- for about 1.5 sec.
- To select a session press any key.
-
-
- Installation:
- -------------
-
- Copy KBDHK.DLL to x:\OS2\DLL
- where x: is the drive where OS/2 is installed.
-
-
- To install FSTS type:
- detach FSTS <x:>
-
-
- where x: is the drive where OS/2 is installed. (default is C:)
-
-
-
- If you want FSTS support from DOS sessions the program: FSTSDOS must
- be installed in each session.
- The easy way is to put FSTSDOS into your autoexec.bat.
- Please note that FSTS is currently not able to operate within WIN-OS2
- sessions.
-
- You are now ready to task switch the easy way!
-
-
-
- UnInstallation:
- ---------------
- A lean-and-mean uninstall feature is available when the FSTS task-list
- is activated, press <shift>+<U>. This will remove FSTS in all OS/2
- full screen sessions.
- Currently no support for removing FSTSDOS from memory exists.
-
-
-
- This program is FREE OF CHARGE, but
- IF you like it why not send a postcard
- to the author with your comments.
