StarInfo/Fletcher/!TaskKill/TaskKiller
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

h $ ( X TaskKiller TaskKiller 1.06 (14 Jan 1996) � Justin Fletcher TaskKiller t x The Task killer module will attempt to kill a task which has crashed. When a task stops responding, use these keys, in order of priority :
�1. Use Right-Alt and Escape to exit using error handler
�2. Use Right-Alt and Break to kill the task with a machette!
�WARNING : Do NOT use these in a correctly functioning desktop
The Task killer module can also be used to initiate a command prompt by Right-Alt-Keypad *. @-� � �����@-� ������������ ��l�� � �� �� � �� �����@-�
