NEW RELEASE: Taskbar for OS/2 version 2.00 by Rick Yoder

Taskbar is a shareware program that allows rapid switching among multiple
running programs by providing a popup button bar containing a list of all
running programs in the system. The taskbar is activated by moving the
mouse cursor to the bottom edge of the screen. The desired task can then
be selected by clicking on the appropriate button with the mouse. In order
to re-hide the taskbar, simply move the mouse cursor outside of the
taskbar. Following is a list of the changes made in this version:

 1) Program settings reorganized into a settings notebook.

 2) The icons for seamless Windows applications now show up correctly.
    (Getting these icons requires the use of several undocumented
    features in OS/2. If you should come across a version of OS/2
    where this doesn't work, *please* let me know so I can (hopefully)
    fix it.)

 3) Double-clicking with mouse button 1 on a program's button in the
    taskbar will hide/minimize the program.

 4) Any shift key + mouse button 2 will close a program.

 5) The width of the indicator bar can now be adjusted.

 6) Added option to sort taskbar entries by window z-order.

 7) Added hot key capability similar to the Windows Alt-Tab feature.
    The hot keys on program installation are Ctrl+Alt+'>' (go forward
    through window list) and Ctrl+Alt+'<' (go backward through window
    list).

 8) The taskbar activation hook now checks whether a mouse button is
    being pressed or if a window has captured the mouse and does not
    activate the taskbar if either of those conditions are true. This
    will hopefully reduce the problem of accidentally activating the
    taskbar when dragging items around at the edge of screen.

 9) Increased the speed of the display of the bubble-help text,
    especially when the text overlaps a seamless Windows window.

10) Added ability to remove programs from the task list.

11) In order to deal with ill-behaved programs such as the OS/2 system
    editor, we now get a program's title from the text in its titlebar
    rather than its window list title.
