KillApp - Automatic Application Killer
version 1.0
Copyright (c) 1996 Douglas Zimmer - dzimmer@digex.net


KillApp is a small app that I wrote to take care of a need of mine and
I decided to distribute it as Freeware, in case anyone else has the
need for such a utility. Basically, it is a utility that you run in
the background that will kill any specified application after a certain
amount of time. If you find it useful and have suggestions, please let
me know.

NOTE: Due to the way KillApp terminates other applications, it is
      possible to suffer some loss of precious resources. If you
      would like the use of this utility but find that it does
      cost you resources, let me know, I'll see what I can do.

Usage:

killapp /f:appname [/t:minutes] [/i:seconds] [/d]

	/f:appname - This is a required parameter.
		     'appname' is any unique, one word, part of
		     the task name. You can get this information
		     by bringing up the task list:
		         Ctrl-Esc for Windows 3.x
		         Ctrl-Alt-Del for Windows 95

	/t:minutes - Optional parameter specifying how long
		     the application should be able to run.
		     The default is 15 minutes.

	/i:seconds - Optional parameter specifying how often
		     KillApp should check to see if the app
		     specified is running. The default is to
		     check every 15 seconds.

	/d           A debug parameter. This is used to confirm
		     KillApp's functioning. You will see three
		     pieces of information at the bottom of the
		     dialog box. First is the /t: parameter, second
		     is the /i: parameter, third is an indication
		     of whether or not KillApp detects your app
		     as currently running.
