CL> Here is the question: "Has anyone out there written a Task Manager CL> similarto the one in OS/2 1.0, or has anyone had any ideas about doing CL> so?" I know of no one who has tackled this, but I can see no reason that it couldn't be done. Before you re-invent the wheel, though, keep in mind that the Task Manager from 1.0 was quite usable under 1.1. I don't know of anyone who has tried it under 1.2, but it may work there as well. Good luck. -- Jim Gilliland - via FidoNet node 1:140/22 UUCP: alberta!dvinci!weyr!157!200.34!Jim.Gilliland Internet: Jim.Gilliland@p34.f200.n157.z1.FIDONET.ORG Standard Disclaimers Apply...

Good luck. It nearly works, but has trouble bringing down the system. Typing CONTROL-ALT-DELETE or running the boot command usually switches to another session or, if there are no other sessions, back to the task manager. It would be real nice if Microsoft would document the DOSSM* calls. Wasn't one of the selling points of OS/2 that there wouldn't be a lot of undocumented entry points and that you could "even write your own task manager?" Dan Lanciani ddl@harvard.*
