SMP Presentation Manager Copyright (C) by Roman Stangl July, 1999 Version 2.10 Draft ****************** *** I'm pleased to announce the public availability of PC/2 V2.10, the latest and greatest version of this utility that started development about 7 years ago! Comments/suggestions/bug reports are welcome! Where to Download: ================== Primarily, you can get the complete package - including the complete source code - (and some other useful stuff) via my homepage: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Pines/7885/ by following the PC/2 links. I also try to make it available on the following major anonymous-ftp OS/2 archives (uploads to other sites are of course welcome): *) Hobbes (USA): Uploaded to: ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/ with a final destination of: ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/wps/ http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-browse?sh=1&dir=//pub/os2/util/wps *) Walnut-Creek (USA): Uploaded to: ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/incoming/ with a final destination of: ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/wpsutil/ *) Leo (Germany): Uploaded to: ftp://ftp.leo.org/incoming/os2/ with a final destination of: ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/pmtools/ http://www.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/pmtools/ What will you get: ================================== PC/2 is a WPS enhancement or replacement, that features a program launcher, Virtual Desktops, Hotkey support, Sliding focus, Advanced Marking, Dynamic Menu Selection, Environment Spaces, WIN95 key support, QuickSwitch and SessionBar window, Hardware Panning support, TitleBar Smarticons, Lockup and Password protection support, Scheduler, WPS extraction and a Spooler Control Window (which enables spooling even when running PC/2 as a WPS replacement). Running PC/2 as the WPS replacement can save about 4 MB precious RAM, even on well equipped machines you can notice decreased swapper size and activity giving you a performance boost compared to running the WPS (due to the much smaller memory requirements compared with the WPS). For those of you who want to know the "tricks" used in PC/2, the full source (requires long filename support) is included, however it can be decrypted only on the 32-bit OS/2 platform to avoid using it on the Windows platforms.
