Killing a VW7.8 process

davidbuck
Some information for people developing in VW7.8:

As of VW7.8, VisualWorks now uses two native threads (see the release
notes). As a result, when you want to kill a VW7.8 process on a Windows
system, you can no longer just select one of the VW windows and say "End
Process" in the Windows Task Manager.  Instead, you have to go to the
list of processes, select visual.exe, and select "End Process" on that.

If you use End Process, what happens (or doesn't happen)?

Re: Killing a VW7.8 process

Hmm... I think I need to test this more.  I got into an infinite loop and used End Task on a window to kill it.  Nothing happened.  I just tried a VW7.8 window normally and End Task worked fine.  Maybe it was just something I was doing wrong.

For now, disregard. If I can reproduce it I'll provide more details.
