MDesk is a new OS/2 shareware package which provides an integrated set of
desktop tools designed to fill in some of the gaps left by IBM in OS/2.
Moreover, if the speed of OS/2 on your system is less than what you would
like it to be, or if excessive swapping is a problem, MDesk can
be run as a shell replacement without the Workplace Shell. This will free up
approximately 3 MB of RAM and run your system faster than ever before.
Many users with larger amounts of RAM have also expressed that MDesk
significantly increases the overall speed of their systems.

Release 1.1 adds a full-featured screen saver, complete with Deskpic support
and password protection; the ability to drag+drop fonts and colours to the
Infobar; an X button to close applictions with a single click; and many more...
Of course, MDesk 1.1 fixes most of the problems with the initial release, as
well as improve on many of the existing features. For a complete list of new
