I- Introduction

'Protect' is a program destined to programmers of 'TURBO PASCAL 7.0 DOS'
wanting to protect the softwares that they build. This pack is composed
of the following files:

* PROTECT.EXE     Enables to protect a standard diskette            (1)
* PROTECT.ICO     The icon of the program for display under Windows (2)
* PIRATES.TPU     The unit allowing to exploit the protection       (3)
* TESTE.PAS       File origin example
* TESTE.EXE       File compiled example
* NOTICEA.TXT     This file
* REGISTER.TXT    File for the recording

II- Installation

Copy the files previously enunciated "especially (1),(2),(3)" into a
directory for example 'C :\PROTECT '
For an use under Windows, go in the 'gestionnaire' of programs,
open the menu 'Fichier', 'Nouveau' and choose the option 'Programme'.
Then add until the line of command the path where got settled
the program here in the occurence 'C:\PROTECT\PROTECT.EXE' and choose
the icon 'C:\PROTECT\PROTECT.ICO'.

III- Restrictions

This program functions only on some diskettes formated in DOS standard.
That is 5¬ DD, HD and 3« DD, HD.  And also on MS DOS 4.0 minimum.  The
type of processor is without importance.

III- Utilization

        1-Protect.exe
        Insert a blank diquette, formated into one of the readers
        Launch 'PROTECT.EXE'
        Enter the name of the reader where is the diskette
        For example 'a' and type the key Return Carriage.  In the case
        of a mistake, the key Back-Space
        Then enter the code of protection of the diskette, for example
        here input 'Code-Cles nicolas'
        If all the operations are unfolded without problem, the
        program will notify it to you.  In the opposite case verify that
        the diskette is standard PC and also if this is in writing
        modes.

        2-The unit PIRATES.TPU
        VAR Lecteur         : CHAR;
            Codesecret      : STRING;
        FUNCTION TEST       : BOOLEAN;   {TRUE ou FALSE}
        FUNCTION NUMERODISK : BYTE       {1..255}
        PROCEDURE FAUX;
         Lecteur represents the reader into which the protected diskette
        is insert. By default it is 'A'. It returns to you programmer to
        modify it according your uses.
         Codesecret is the code that you entered during the use
        of 'PROTECT.EXE' in the protected diskette.  By default it is
        initialize to 'Code-Cles nicolas'. The writing MAJ /MIN has an
        importance.
         TEST is a function referring true or false according to that if
        the values of the protections are identical to the one gone in
        previously during the use of 'PPROTECT.EXE'.
         NUMERODISK is specially used for the installation of a
        program.  Indeed at each execution of this, it increase
        the diskette of a number of installation and sends back the current
        active number 1 to 254.  That is to the programmer to specifying the
        number of possible installation in his program 'INSTALL'.  If it
        refer the value 255, this means that the operation is finished
        by a failure, either of reading or of writing to the diskette.  It
        is also to the responsibility of programmer to test if the diskette
        is the well one protected (by TEST) and to adjusting all the
        parameters of necessary installation to his program before sending
        the function Nunerodisk.  Indeed, each utilization increased the
        number of the recognition number of installation before sending back
        the number of this that her subtracted 1.
        By default 'PROTECT.EXE' installs the number '1' into the diskette
        protected.
         FALSE represents a display whichc you will be free to using.

        3-L'exemple
        It's the simple aplication of the the unit 'PIRATES.TPU'
