Ctrl-Alt-Del Commander v1.5 Available.
Perez Computing has released Ctrl-Alt-Del Commander v1.5, a $29 utility for OS/2 Warp that defends against desktop and application freeze-ups.
Perez Computing Services is proud to announce Ctrl-Alt-Del Commander v1.5. Ctrl-Alt-Del Commander (CAD Commander) takes control of the boot services of an OS/2 Warp system. It prevents accidental rebooting of OS/2 from within any type of OS/2, DOS, or Windows session. In addition, it also allows "rebooting" of the Workplace shell without stopping any running applications. It gives complete command over all applications' status (including their priorities), and allows selective shutdown of errant applications which cannot normally be shutdown via OS/2's Ctrl-ESC key sequence. It also provides a handy status line and enhanced task list to let you control applications from your PM Desktop. Finally, it includes a Game Boost option for DOS and Win full screen games to enhance their performance under OS/2.
Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del using Ctrl-Alt-Del Commander v1.5 does not reboot your computer. Instead, it brings up a screen that shows you a list of your running applications, presenting you with a set of options that includes shutting down, switching to, or changing the priority of individual applications, or restarting the desktop. Programs previously thought "unkillable" such as network daemons can be stopped. Restarting the desktop can be done without shutting down any running applications, and without affecting those applications. You can even restart the desktop without losing Internet or other network connections.
Some of the many features of Ctrl-Alt-Del Commander Version 1.5 are:
And as always, more information about Ctrl-Alt-Del Commander v1.5 including a patch for current registered owners, and a FULLY FUNCTIONAL DEMO for new users can be found at the Perez Computing Services Web site.
Ctrl-Alt-Del Commander v1.5 is available for only $29 from Indelible Blue, J3 Computer Technologies or directly from Perez Computing Services at 1-800-IPF-7622.

File Freedom v1.1 Update.
Introducing: File Freedom v1.1 Update.
File Freedom is a fast, informative PM file manager with an intuitive interface. It includes context-sensitive help, support for Info-Zip's Zip and Unzip, links for unlimited viewers, a link for an editor, links for user-defined programs, drag and drop colors and fonts, and much more.
What's New in Version 1.1
Support for Info-Zip's ZIP and UNZIP has been better integrated. One button zipping, unzipping and testing of archives is now accompanied by a built-in Zip File Viewer for peering inside of zip files. It allows all other viewers (graphics viewers, wav players, etc.) configured in File Freedom to be used inside a zip file. It also allows the user to look inside a zip file within a zip file, and again, all configured viewers can be used to examine files in this second layer. Single file extraction is also supported within the Zip Viewer. Improved support has also been added for User-Defined programs as well as many smaller improvements and improvements to Online Help.
All of this for the same low price of $10.00. (This update is free to registered users)
It comes in a 30 Day Demo form that functions fully without reminders or limitations. The demo can be upgraded to a registered form with the addition of a registration number. It also comes with an Install Program that puts File Freedom on your Desktop quickly and easily without changes to your Config.Sys file. If you try File Freedom and it just doesn't suit your needs, it also comes with an Uninstall Program that will make the test drive painless. You can find File Freedom v1.1 (filefr11.zip) at FTP.CDROM.COM in the incoming directory or:
and hopefully soon on Hobbes in:
os2/diskutil/filefr11.zip
