                     UNREGISTERED VERSION

Read the documentation (view WATCHCAT.INF) and install with INSTALL.
Start watchcat.exe to have a look at the program.

WatchCat is a program for OS/2 2.x / 3.x that makes it possible to recover
from system hangs that block keyboard and mouse input. WatchCat can be
activated by a hotkey or a hardware switch.


NOTE:

- WatchCat's keyboard activation mechanism is not compatible with the use
  of PS/2 (bus-) mice. In such cases, use other mechanisms.

- WatchCat might disable some APM functionality. Turn off WatchCat with
  the WPS object to enter hibernation or suspend mode.

- On some computers, there are keyboard problems with the keyboard
  activation mechanism. This is due to a timing problem in OS/2's
  keyboard drivers. Use the non-device-driver hotkey mechanism or choose
  an alternative input method like joystick.

- The new Process Manipulation Center lets you kill processes by forcing
  them to generate a breakpoint exception, kill, suspend, resume and change
  priorities of single threads of running processes. The unregistered
  version of WatchCat only features a demo version of this tool (you can
  use above features only five times).

- WatchCat can be activated by CTRL-ALT-DEL. See the documentation.


Enjoy!
