MDesk for OS/2, release 1.2
MDesk is a 32-bit multi-threaded OS/2 shareware package which provides an
integrated set of desktop tools designed to complement or replace the IBM
supplied Workplace Shell.
Since its initial release late in 1995, MDesk has helped hundreds of users
take control of their OS/2 systems. MDesk will help low memory systems because
it requires less than a quarter of the memory the WPS typically uses. Many
users with large amounts of RAM have also expressed that MDesk significantly
increases the overall speed of their system.
MDesk now comes with a utility to import your WPS objects quickly and
efficiently into MDesk. You could have your complete system converted to MDesk
only minutes after reading this post!
This new version also adds more functionality to folders and program objects
and the Infobar, sports a new '96 interface, and adds more convenience
features. For a complete list of new features, please see the MDesk Support
Center on the Web at:

Of course, MDesk 1.2 fixes most of the problems with previous releases, as
well as improve many of the existing features.
To download your copy of MDesk 1.2, point your web browser at the MDesk
Support Center Web site mentioned above.
Eventually, MDesk 1.2 will be available from Hobbes FTP sites around the
world; in the U.S.A. the URL will be:
ftp://ftp-os2.nmsu.edu/os2/wpsutil/mdesk12.zip

NOTE: MDesk for OS/2 is not to be confused with Cubis Inc's MultiDesk product
sold in Germany.
