Here is one way:

http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,6102-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html

It is free.

The description does not mention it, but included is a command line utility.
Look for pv.exe
There is a pv.txt to read too.
And try pv -h |more at the command line.


There is no 'install'. Just make a directory and unzip it there. Even for the gui version... it just runs.

thaks, but I do not want to include an extra app. I am doing a shell call from an application I am doing...
TrevixThe closest native command I can think of for Win98 is the MEM command. Try
Code: [SELECT]mem -cto see if that gives you what you are looking for.Quote from: GuruGary on February 23, 2008, 10:55:28 AM

I tried mem /c/p first here. (Win98SE here)

The output appears to be only what is running in that instance of DOS. It does not list everything running on the machine.Speaking of wich...I know that I can START an Application with "start pathToApplication".
But How can I send a Quit message to the same application (Dos on Win98)

TrevixI know your after a dos command to do this for you but I don't think there is one.

I use pstools and the pslist command. it will list all running process on your machine or a remote one.

nice
