WatchCat 2.1 (C) 1995 by Felix von Normann and Thomas Opheys All rights reserved. UNREGISTERED VERSION Read the documentation (view WATCHCAT.INF) and install with INSTALL. Start watchcat.exe to have a look at the program. WatchCat is a program for OS/2 2.x / 3.x that makes it possible to recover from system hangs that block keyboard and mouse input. WatchCat can be activated by a hotkey or a hardware switch. NOTE: - WatchCat's keyboard activation mechanism is not compatible with the use of PS/2 (bus-) mice. In such cases, use other mechanisms. - WatchCat might disable some APM functionality. Turn off WatchCat with the WPS object to enter hibernation or suspend mode. - On some computers, there are keyboard problems with the keyboard activation mechanism. This is due to a timing problem in OS/2's keyboard drivers. Use the non-device-driver hotkey mechanism or choose an alternative input method like joystick. - The new Process Manipulation Center lets you kill processes by forcing them to generate a breakpoint exception, kill, suspend, resume and change priorities of single threads of running processes. The unregistered version of WatchCat only features a demo version of this tool (you can use above features only five times). - WatchCat can be activated by CTRL-ALT-DEL. See the documentation.
