PC/2 - Program Commander/2 Version 2.10 for
IBM OS/2 2.x, OS/2 WARP, WARP Srv. SMP Presentation Manager
Copyright (C) by Roman Stangl - July, 1999

 Roman Stangl just releases the version 2.10 of PC/2 for OS/2 Warp. This new version of this fine freeware is the latest and greatest version that  Roman Stangl started development about 7 years ago!

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.
