Peek-a-Boo is a utility to monitor and manipulate all running processes.
You can watch how much CPU time each process uses, adjust the CPU time
requested by each process, and look at any piece of information
available through the Process Manager.

The Process Manager (available in MacOS System 7 and later) maintains a
dozen or so pieces of information about each running process (normally
an application); many fine utilities show a subset of this information.

My personal motivation for writing Peek-a-Boo was that no existing
utility showed precisely the subset of Process Manager information I
needed to know at a given time. So I made sure that Peek-a-Boo can show
any piece of information available via the Process Manager; preferences
can be edited to view only those pieces of information you need. And,
with the Special Technology of Peek-a-Boo ST, you can now adjust the
priorities of processes to customize which processes get more processor
time.

Peek-a-Boo 1.6 offers a new Apple Event interface for programmers.

CSM Pack and ramBunctious both use different aspects of this interface.

Peek-a-Boo 1.6 allows you to start typing a process name and it selects
that process. This feature has been frequently requested, and we're glad
to announce its availability.

Peek-a-Boo 1.6 also allows left- and right-arrow keypresses to cycle
through processes in the order that they're located in memory. This can
make it easier to select specific processes when you're trying to make a
contiguous range of memory available.

Several minor bugs have been fixed.
