escapepod is a little application that lets you terminate the frontmost application by hitting Control-Alt-Delete, terminate the Dock by hitting Shift-Control-Alt-Delete, or do a force-logout by hitting Command-Control-Alt-Delete.

There are times that Mac OS X appears to be hung (especially in some games) when it really isn't -- just the frontmost application's GUI is wedged. The Dock also occasionally stops responding under some circumstances, which can be cured by terminating it . Additionally, when the entire GUI appears to be hung, it is safer to do a force-logout than to simply reboot your machine (and it is quicker, too).

NOTE: escapepod is no longer needed (or functional) under MacOS X 10.3 and later; Apple built the functionality in escapepod into the operating system.

What's New:
Added a nice new escapepod logo, thanks to Marcus Conge
Fixed a bug that caused escapepod to not launch on versions of Mac OS X prior to 10.2.0
Updated the "escapepod notes.txt" file to reflect the changes, describe how to quit escapepod, and include user-submitted suggestions.
