mabOff is a simple tool to switch a device off stationed in task tray.
Because reaction of a power supply button of my GENIO was dull, I made mabOff to switch it off with a screen tap. I prepared the option which can switch it off directly from a command line too.
mabOff works with most Windows CE devices. I prepared both Pocket PC version and Handheld PC version. (H/PC binary works in Pocket PC, but a dialogue box in the end is uncool.)
I know there is other more convenient tool, a tool of most the same movement, but decided to ship it because I made it with much effort.A function and a characteristic of mabOff are as follows.
- It is stationed in a task tray, and it turns off a power supply when you taps a mabOff icon.
- If you execute mabOff while it is already running, it will be released from a memory.
- You can turn off a power supply from a command line and mabOff (Immediatly) icon too.
mabOff works in the following environment.
Pocket PC / Windows CE 3.0 / ARM, MIPS, SH3
Pocket PC 2002 / Windows CE 3.0 / ARM(XScale)
Handheld PC Pro / Windows CE 2.1 / MIPS, SH3, SH4, ARM
Handheld PC 2000 / Windows CE 3.0 / MIPS, ARM
?? / Windows CE .NET 4.10 / XScale
* H/PC binary may work in H/PC 2.0 or Palm-size PC. But the author oneself did not test it.I tested mabOff in the following environment.
Pocket PC : CASIO CASSIOPEIA E700(MIPS)
Pocket PC 2002 : TOSHIBA GENIO e550X(ARM), e550C(XScale)
Handheld PC 2000 : NTT Docomo sigmarion II(MIPS)
?? : NTT Docomo sigmarion III (XScale)
