PMVKProc v2.2
-------------

********************************************************************************
General Information
-------------------

The PMVKProc utility is a system information utility which has its
derivation from an process view and kill utility out of which the name
was generated (PMVKPROC = Presentation Manager View and Kill PROCesses).
Currently PMVKProc shows informations about some system variables like 
the size of the time slot, informations about the running processes, 
informations about the file-system attaches to the drives and it has
an editor for the profile file normally called INI-files.

The PMVKProc utility is a 32-bit application which runs under the WPS. 
It is developed with IBMs Visual Age C++ and the IOCL library by which 
the program is a little bit larger but better expandable with new functions.
It is developed and tested under OS/2 3.X and 4.0. There should be no 
problems to run it under OS/2 2.X but it is not guaranteed.

PMVKProc starts with an overview window. Here you can open additional
windows with the actual information or you can set some options which are 
valid for all windows (like the font size).

General information window
--------------------------
This window displays information about system variables. Most of the
shown variables are static. That means they are set in the CONFIG.SYS file or
are detected during the startup procedure of OS/2. 

The variables are grouped in four parts:
 - Parallel processes
 - Time slice
 - Memory
 - Path length

Process information window
--------------------------
This window displays information about the currently running processes. There
are two listboxes: one which shows all processes with there parent-child 
dependencies and one which shows detailed information about a selected 
process like number of thread or loaded modules.

It is also possible to kill a process. Be careful with this function because
the process is killed via the DosKillProcess function. There is no saving of
data or something else.

Drives information window
--------------------------
This window displays information about the attached drives. There are 
informations about the file-system, the size of clusters and sector or
the number of free clusters. 

Profile (INI) information window
--------------------------------
This window displays information about the contents of a selected profile
(INI) file. First you can "walk" through the profile and can look for
informations, than you can edit a profile by modify a key value or by
creating, deleting or copying a key or application.

********************************************************************************
Shareware Information
---------------------

The PMVKPROC utility is a fully functional shareware version. 
See the registration informations in the help of the program pmvkproc.exe
to get more informations. You will have a 30 days test period to evaluate
the quality of the program. After that period the program will disable
all function so that you have to register!
