Version 3 of kill

TclX provides a kill command only for Unix(-like) systems.

"kill" is rather foreign to Windows programming.

(LV I don't understand why this would be so - how is kill different than the control-alt-del End Task?)

From a programming standpoint, one generally sends a {WM_CLOSE,WM_QUIT,...} to a Win32 application (Tcl programmers can "send" such messages with winutil::sendmessage).

Windows workers also should be aware of

the sample /samples/sdktools/winnt/tlist/kill.c included with the Win32 SDK (still there in recent versions?)
the "WinTop" or "Windows Process Watcher" (it's had different names at different times) utility Microsoft makes available as part of its "Kernel Toys" [L1 ]

 Well, everyone, there IS a Santa Claus.

 For windows98 (at least), tlist.exe and kill.exe are (somehow)  available from MS:
 (tlist gets you all the pids running)
   ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/services/technet/samples/ps/win98/reskit/diagnose/

 tlist and kill from the NT Resource kit *will not work* on win 98.
 (Yes, I *TRIED* them both, you never know for sure...)

 I hope that others may find this both helpful and useful.

 I *think* that the win95 resource kit is still downloadable
 somewhere on the MS site.
