I must confess that I have no idea about Win98. Hopefully someone else can
jump in.

FWIW, my install of NT 4.0 has some of the resource kit installed. I'm
reasonably sure that is why I have commands like 'kill' and 'tlist'
available. They certainly don't ship with a default install of NT 4.0.

tlist prints a tasklist on the console. kill uses a process id or a task name
to kill a process. I'd look to see if MS produced anything similar in the
Win98 resource kit.
