November 26, 1996 Announcements

BMT Micro Shareware CD.

BMT Micro is proud to announce the release of our first OS/2 CDROM shareware disc. This disc features all the top shelf OS/2 shareware distributed by BMT Micro - over 100 of the very finest programs available for OS/2. We truly believe you will find that having such a large collection of the very best OS/2 shareware at your fingertips a valuable resource.

Best of all, each program on the disc can be registered with BMT Micro and you can receive the registration information delivered directly to you soon after placing your order (in almost all cases within 24 hours)

This is not a "shovelware" CD, it is a collection of files available from our web site (http://www.bmtmicro.com) and contains the latest versions of all programs as of 12 November, 1996.

In addition to being separated into categories, each program has been unarchived into a separate subdirectory allowing many of the programs to be run or installed directly from the disc. Even the programs that do not lend themselves to direct installation from the disc have been unzipped allowing the user to browse the various readme files, help files, etc. Each directory has a descriptive text file that lists filenames and a brief description of the files in that directory.

We will begin shipping on 29 November, 1996. Until then, we will be taking pre-orders at a special price of $7.99 + $2.00 shipping. After 29 November the price will be $9.99 + $2.00 shipping. Quantity discounts available for user groups and Team OS/2 specials.

For more information contact (910) 791-7052 or Email bmt@bmtmicro.com; for orders call (800) 414-4268 (USA / Canada) or Email orders@bmtmicro.com. Or visit our web site.

ColorWorks Patch for Warp 4.

If you are running ColorWorks V2 or V1+ under Warp 4.0 (Merlin) you should download and apply the Warp 4.0 program patches we have made available from the SPG Web-Site. The ColorWorks programs need these patches applied in order for them to operate properly under Warp 4.0.

NOTE: If you are not running ColorWorks under Warp 4.0, meaning you are using Warp 3.0 or lower, the application of these patches to your ColorWorks doesn't hurt anything -- but they are not necessary.

Announcing Stardock's Process Commander.

Stardock Systems, a leading developer of OS/2 software, announced Process Commander today. Process Commander, which has been in development for over a year, will be generally available on Monday, November 25.

Possibly the most thoroughly tested OS/2 product ever, Process Commander has undergone a rigorous public beta for many months. Many beta testers have been using it in a "production" environment for some time.

Process Commander's most popular feature is its ability to allow OS/2 users to recover from system hangs. When the system hangs, users can hit Ctrl+Alt+Del, which Process Commander now traps, and brings up a full screen session that allows the user to try to recover from the hang. Any user that has ever experienced such a hang will likely want to get Process Commander as it is by far the most reliable way to recover from a system hang. Many corporations using OS/2 in a mission critical fashion will also want to take a good look at Process Commander for this reason.

Process Commander also provides an enhanced shutdown. Now, users can tell OS/2 to reboot after shutting down.

A whole set of command line utilities also comes with Process Commander to allow users to write scripts or perform process management tasks at the command line. For example, Process Commander provides a true "Kill -9" utility. Users can also change the priority of programs from the command line.

For OS/2 users that want to manage their programs/processes from an easy to use environment, Process Commander also provides "Process Commander PM", a graphical process management utility. From this program, users can view how much shared memory a program uses, change priorities of threads, look at semaphores and other critical pieces of information. For IS managers, this program is particularly useful for improving OS/2's performance since it sees and tells how much CPU usage each process is using. There are few utilities available for tuning OS/2's performance that can match Process Commander.

Remote process management is also available. If an end user's system hangs or a server hangs, an IS manager can remotely telnet to that system and terminate the offending process.

Process Commander also extends OS/2's keyboard capabilities. For example, it can use the new "Windows95" keys that are on many new keyboards. Users can assign functions to the Windows95 keys now.

Moreover, Process Commander comes with an Assistant and Monitor that allows it to keep track of what is running on your system. If your system has hangs or has other problems, it can often diagnose what went wrong and present recovery options.

If you use OS/2, whether in the home, at work, or as an adminstrator, Process Commander is likely to be the most compelling OS/2 utility to have been developed in a very long time.

Process Commander lists for $69.95 but Stardock has an introductory price of $65. Stardock can be reached at (313)453-0328 or (313)453-1480 fax. Its website is http://www.stardock.com/. Users can order it at 1-800-672-2338.
