Sure, there are a few programs that I know of: Xoper, TaskX, and ARTM. I know that Xoper is on ab20, but I'm not sure about the other ones. All of these have options for priority changes, and are very powerfull tools. You can get yourself out of a held task by removing that task with one of these programs. You can also really screw yourself if you accidentally remove something, or change a priority that shouldn't be changed. I like the look of Xoper the best, and I like the pop-up feature, but half the time, I can't get it to do what I want it to do. -- Matt Ranney t22918@ursa.calvin.edu
