FTaskman - Taskmanager (c) 1993 by Andreas Furrer
=================================================
This is version 1.05 of FTaskman.
FTaskman is a replacement for the taskmanager of Windows 3.1
FTaskman has the following additional functions to the normal taskmanager
- display the icons of all tasks (switchable)
- multiselection -> e.g. end several tasks
- show also invisible tasks (switchable)
- minimize other tasks when 'Switch to'
- new commands:
+ minimize selected tasks
+ minimize all tasks with the exception of the selected
+ minimize all tasks
+ set tasks invisible or visible
+ set tasks stay on top or delete stay on top
+ tile windows horizontally or vertically
There is an english and a german version of FTaskman.
Installation of FTaskman:
=========================
- To use the german you have to rename FTASKMAN.EXG in FTASKMAN.EXE.
- Copy FTASKMAN.EXE in your windows directory (or any directory you want)
- Add the following line to the section [Boot] of the file SYSTEM.INI:
TASKMAN.EXE=C:\WINDOWS\FTASKMAN.EXE
(If you don't have copied FTASKMAN.EXE in the directory C:\WINDOWS
change this path to the name of the directory in which you have copied
FTASKMAN.EXE!)
- If you want to use the library CTL3D.DLL (see below), you have to copy the file CTL3D.DLL
into the directory Windows\System.

Options dialog:
- Show icons in tasklist
- Default: show invisible
- Default: show extented dialog
- Minimize other tasks when 'Switch to'
If you switch to one or more tasks with 'Switch to', all other tasks
will be minimized
You can also access each command with a popup menu, if you press the right
mouse button in the task listbox.
Invisible tasks will be marked with a 'ñ'.
The tasklist will not show tasks which have no title, because the standard
taskmanager also don't show them and there are a lot of untiteled windows
which your system uses for internal things.
FTaskman will use the CTL3D library from Microsoft to let the dialog controls
look 3 dimensional. If you don't like this look, just delete CTL3D.DLL or add
Ctl3d=0
to the section
[FTaskMan]
in WIN.INI
Freeware-Note
=============
You can use and distribute FTaskman free, as long as the following files are
not changed and you distribute all files together
- ftaskman.exe
- ftaskman.exg
- ftaskman.txt
- ftaskman.txg
I am programming FTaskman because I have fun and not to make any profit.
That's why FTaskman is free and you don't have to pay more or less high
registration charges. I think it is a bad habit, that more and more program
authors want to have money even for the smallest programs.
Long live the Freeware!
