Priman ...Amiga Utility

Author: Barry McConnell

> Well it happens to all of us at one time or another, You have just had a session on line, You have downloaded a couple of programs from the Aminet ...Saved them to RAM added a couple of Email attachments (Photo's jokes whatever). It is just about time to finish your session when it happens.

> One of your programs LOCKS up ...Yam/Ibrowse/Voyager etc. etc. ....ARRRG ...Why did I save everything to the bloody RAM Disk ....You frantically click all the buttons on the locked program ...Nothing happens ...YOUR DOOMED ..DOOMED.

> Well not quite! ... If you have Priman installed you can use that to rescue the situation. In a similar fashion to the Windows PC ....End task Program ...Priman lists all the tasks (programs) you have running, And allows you the option to "Kill" them.

> So my friends, You can choose to "Kill" the offending, Locked program, And close the offending window/Screen.

> With the problem removed you can continue to use your Amiga and move all the stored files from RAM to a safer partition on your HD.

> Of course Priman isn't just about "Killing" Programs (But by God it has saved me a few times) but is very useful for other tasks as well.

> PriMan is a fully Style Guide-compliant program for viewing a list of all running tasks, and performing some actions on them.7nbsp; PriMan requires at least Kickstart 2, and takes advantage of a few extra features available under Kickstart 3.

> PriMan allows you to change the priority of any task with the greatest of ease. Unlike most other similar utilities, you need only drag a slider to change the priority - there is no messy clicking in string gadgets, deleting the old priority, and typing in a new one. There is also the facility to signal tasks (e.g. with Ctrl-C), remove them from memory, and freeze them.

Don't take the chance ...Download Priman today ..and save your Future
