- HERMES' TAPRiSKA (Version 1.1)
-
- Copyright (c) 1989 A. G. Kartsatos
-
- (Please See Below Distribution Requirements)
-
-
- This is a utility program for your Amiga computer. Its purpose is to
- identify the tasks which are currently running on your machine. Besides the
- various CLI and background executable programs, these tasks include your
- hard disk drives as well as the various devices.
- The program allows you to change the priority of these tasks effortless-
- ly. However, you should not try to do this arbitrarily. If you change the
- priority of an important system task to one lower than that of a program that
- accesses it, you may easily lock up the system. It is pretty safe to
- change the priorities of background tasks though. Just click into the
- line of a task and then place into the priority gadget the new priority for
- that task. Then press "DO IT". That's it! If the new priority has been
- established, the listing will be refreshed to reflect the change. Other-
- wise, you will get a requestor telling you that the program could not
- change the priority to the desired one.
- The little orange gadget on the right is for completely refreshing
- the task list by reading again all the information from memory. You need a
- button like that because a task may change while TAPRiSKA is in operation.
- You may run the program from the CLI pressing: "RUN TAPRiSKA", or
- from the Workbench by clicking into its icon.
- Have fun!
