- PRIORITY.EXE is public domain (C source and OS/2 16-bit (1.x)
- executable). It can be used to fire up an OS/2 application at any
- priority. Note that some OS/2 applications adjust their own priority;
- this shouldn't be used with them.
-
- To use, call as:
-
- PRIORITY.EXE <priclass> <pridelta> <prog to run> <args> <for> <prog>
-
- <priclass> can be from 1 to 4. Priority increases with the value of the
- number, except that class 4 (which was added after class 3 already
- existed) is lower than class 3. So: 1 2 4 3 in order of
- ascending priority. PRIORITY will abort with errorlevel 1 if <priclass>
- is invalid, or if not enough arguments are passed. Otherwise, it
- returns the errorcode returned by <prog to run>.
-
- <pridelta> is from 0 to 31. The higher the number the higher the
- priority within the priority class.
-
- <prog to run> is the program you want to run.
-
- <args> <for> <prog> are the arguments passed to <prog to run>. There
- can be as many of them as you like. Just thing of everything from <prog
- to run> on as a regular command line.
-
- TESTPRI.CMD in the archive will demonstrate how Priority works and
- verify that it works as advertised.
