This is unless I see a sufficient demand for me to improve on this program in my mailbox. Registration ============ This program is free. However, please share me your comments on the program through e-mail or send a postcard to: Archimedes Trajano 38-20 Brimwood Blvd. Scarborough, ON M1V 1B7 Upgrades ======== The latest copy of this program can be found in: ftp-os2.cdrom.com:/pub/os2/2_x/sysutil/sppm????.zip Bugs ==== - Using setptr/PM with the #9GXE at 1280x1024 will cause the system to crash *** One last side note If anyone is looking for a OS/2 programming project, I could send you the design specs for a better setptr/PM. Something which I cannot do because I do not know how to program in C/C++ (not having CSet++ does not help either) :)
