PMVKPROC v2.1
-------------
********************************************************************************
General Information
-------------------
The PMVKPROC utility is a system information utility which has its
derivation from an process view and kill utility out of which the name
was generated (PMVKPROC = Presentation Manager View and Kill PROCesses).
Currently PMVKPROC shows informations about some system variables like
the size of the time slot and informations about the running processes.
The PMVKPROC utility is a 32-bit application which runs under the WPS.
It is developed with IBMs Visual Age C++ and the IOCL library by which
the program is a little bit larger but better expandable with new functions.
It is developed and tested under OS/2 3.0. There should be no problems to
run it under OS/2 2.X but it is not guaranteed.
PMVKPROC starts with an overview window. Here you can open additional
windows with the actual information or you can set some options which are
valid for all windows (like the font size).
General information window
--------------------------
This window displays information about system variables. Most of the
shown variables are static. That means they are set in the CONFIG.SYS file or
are detected during the startup procedure of OS/2.
The variables are grouped in four parts:
- Parallel processes
- Time slice
- Memory
- Path length
Process information window
--------------------------
This window displays information about the currently running processes. There
are two listboxes: one which shows all processes with there parent-child
dependencies and one which shows detailed information about a selected
process like number of thread or loaded modules.
It is also possible to kill a process. Be careful with this function because
the process is killed via the DosKillProcess function. There is no saving of
data or something else.

Changes :
---------
Version 1.1
Added new DLL : FISSOFT.DLL cause of error `cannot find
DDE4MUI.DLL∩. Linked other libraries statically.
Version 1.2
Added loaded module information of processes. Debugged
SYS3175 error. Need no DLL anymore.
Big change ! All 1.X version will not work in other computers than on
mine one. I think it was a compiler bug. Who knows.
Version 2.0
Everything new. New outfit. Use the Visuall Age C++ with the new
library IOCL to develop the program. Added an installation program
because of the use of some entries in the OS2.INI profile to find
my own profile where window positions are put.
Version 2.1
- New: installation program (directory selection window etc.)
- New: window design caused by new information
- New: information window for general system informations
