Randy Spangler has released a new version of Unixcorn.  This is a program
which lets you perform Windows commands from ANY DOS program, and extends
the capabilities of any Windows shell (Norton Desktop, BackDisk, New Menus
for Windows, etc.)  For example, you can get information on Windows'
memory usage by typing "UC MEM" from any shell prompt. Features include:

* Low memory usage.  Not a TSR or device driver, so consumes
  no valuable DOS memory.  Uses only 80KB of Windows memory
  and 2% of system resources.  Doesn't touch win.ini, system.ini,
  or put any files in your Windows directory.
* Start Windows program from a DOS prompt with "UC RUN"
* Detailed memory usage with "TASKS", "MODULES", "MEM",
  and "HEAPWALK" commands.  See every last byte of memory
  your Windows program uses (ideal for developers).
* End tasks, even those that refuse to be killed by Task manager
* Reposition, size, hide, and retitle any window
* Play sounds and pop up message boxes from DOS
* Compatible with MS-DOS and 4DOS batch files (since the
  commands DO run from real DOS prompts)
* No commands disabled in shareware version, no nagware
  screens requiring a random button to be pressed
* Easy to use Windows interface with full on-line help
* Batch file support, customizable menus, aliases

Windows 3.1 in 386 Enhanced mode required.

NEW IN VERSION 1.3:

* Added commands to unload modules memory, set the wallpaper
* Improved user interface and on-line help 
* The ECHO command can have "Yes/No" or "Ok/Cancel" buttons. UC
  sets the MS-DOS errorlevel to reflect the result of the command
* Many bugs fixed; better error checking
* Better batch file support thru ISMODULE, ISTASK, ISWINDOW 
  functions

Unixcorn is cheap shareware.  (Full registration $10, student registration
$5, foreign registration - just a postcard.)
