ATSHELL

ATSHELL is a small program designed to replace PMSHELL.EXE as the OS/2 RUNWORKPLACE program. It allows an arbitrary program to be used as the 'desktop', including (but not limited to) the Workplace Shell (PMSHELL), a web browser, a file manager, or some custom application. It also allows this desktop program to be stopped and restarted, or even changed to something else entirely, without rebooting the system. In addition, ATSHELL allows you to open command prompts or shut down the system, even when the desktop program is not running.
