- Stop V 1.0 - A Shareware utility by Rudi Cilibrasi
-
- Don't you hate it when some programs freeze up or do something strange,
- and then fail to respond to an exit command, or don't close the window even
- though you hit the close-gadget? You need not worry any longer! This
- utility, to be invoked from the CLI, is useful for removing any sort of
- program that, for some reason or another, cannot be stopped by normal means.
- It will remove any task from the task-list, thereby freeing any memory that
- is being used to execute the program, and it will also close any window,
- freeing the memory used for that display. Note that it is not a good idea
- to close a task's window before removing the task, because if the task ever
- recovers from its lock-up, and tries to access the window which was closed,
- it can cause a Guru Meditation. But it is generally safe to first remove a
- task, and then close the window which it was using. Once you start the
- Stop program by typing 'Stop', it will show you a list of all current
- tasks. Just type the number of the task to remove, and it is gone! Next,
- the program will ask you if you want to remove any window that the
- terminated task may have left behind. If you tell it to remove a window, it
- will give you ten seconds in which to click on the window to be removed.
- Once ten seconds have elapsed, the activated window will be closed. Be
- careful not to have a wanted window activated when the time is up! If you
