The sys enhancer icon has no function, Work sets doesn't unless you don't use quick sets, and the desktop hardly ever gets changed, so half of the icon line is wasted. Lets see, what else,...the memory viewer is great because it can include discardable memory so you can see what an app really wants from windows, but it takes way too long on it's timer interrupts, making the whole system too jerkey to use. A setting for how often to recompute would be best. I wish there was a quick way to enlarge a window to a all-the-screen-except- the-icon-area, aside from closing all but the app and tiling the window. A windows app that could zip or at least unzip files would be wonderful. On a /286, you can't shell out to dos without messing up a download operation, so an application that yeilds control now and then would make life easier. Could you release a DLL so people could make their own microapp, or at least register them with the micromanager? (using a work set quickset lets you do this to some extent). Screen Peace is gaining wide support as a screen saver (despite a few bugs) because it's possible to write your own. You could force a DA standard with such a DLL, and try to sell it to MSoft before they come out with their own... Paul Gyugyi gyugyi@portia.stanford.edu
