@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ah, thanks for letting me know about the typo. š
āPMā stands for āPresentation Managerā and is/was common prefix for graphical OS/2 programs. The PM actually got replaced by the āWorkplace Shellā in version 2.0, but somehow the PM
prefix kept being used. At least that is how I remember it. š„“
Hmm, right, an āAbortā button. That could be useful. In my tests, the scans always finished so quickly that I didnāt even think about this ā¦ š
Looks like thereās not a lot of fancy magical stuff:

There is, however, a DosKillThread()
function, which, as far as I know, does not exist on POSIX. š¤ You can only send a signal to a POSIX thread and then itāll hopefully end some day, right?
Killing threads is probably a bad idea, though. Who knows which state itāll leave behind. Itās not like a process which will be properly cleaned up by the OS.
I think Iāll leave it as is. š
