WatchCat 2.1 main program. WatchCat is a program to recover OS/2 from a hanged Presentation Manager by killing applications. It can also display all PStat-info about modules, processes, threads etc.
Developed by Felix von Normann and Thomas Opheys. Watchcat is free for private use.
NOTE: As Watchcat hasn't been updated since 1995 I first suggest the use of SCKILLFEATUREENABLED=YES together with Warp4. There is also the free Task Buster ver 2.0 by Jostein Ullestad available at http://www.powerutilities.no. Both can unfortunately only act with a working P(resentation)M(anager), but as long you're not a developer who has to 'fight' with corrupt applications who are blocking the message queue these two should do in nearly every case, cause since Fixpak 17 for Warp 3 the "SIQ" feature allows the user to take focus away from an application that is monopolising the message queue.

NOTE by Timur Kazimirov: In FP13 for Warp 4 there is a new program PSFILES that shows all opened files (with a lot of the info including mode, PID of process, handle, size, attributes, and etc).
