- The problem is not the process killers, but the system calls that they use.
- DosKillProcess(), which I imagine they all use, is just not very powerful.
- In fact, OS/2's process handling system calls are very weak. I hope
- that eventually they will be improved (maybe for 2.2? who knows?).
-
- If you're interested, I've just finished writing a graphical process
- display/selective kill program. It's called PMps (not to be confused
- with pspm2). At present it's sitting on hobbes in /pub/uploads/pmps.zip.
