Cetus Freeware and Shareware


About
Cetus FloppyWord Word Processor is a floppy-only implementation of the Windows 95 WordPad application that is provided as an accessory with the Windows 95 operating system. FloppyWord provides most of the functionality of WordPad, as well as adding a spell checking function and a more complete Help file, but is restricted to use with document files on either the A: or B: drive.

FloppyWord will not open files from a hard drive, nor will it save files to a hard drive. FloppyWord is intended to be used as a restrictive replacement for a "normal" word processor (such as WordPad), whenever it is desired to restrict guest users of a Windows 95 PC from opening files from, or saving files to, a hard drive.

FloppyWord is being provided for any Windows 95 user who, for security reasons, has a need for its restrictive functionality. We at Cetus Software (creator of Windows security software products) have found that system administrators at many institutions, particularly schools, have expressed a need for a product such as FloppyWord, to allow the use of a word processor that does not read from or write to a PC's hard drive. Because of this, FloppyWord is being provided by Cetus Software.

If you have questions about FloppyWord, if you have any suggestions for improvements for FloppyWord, or if you would like information about our other freeware and shareware software products, please contact us at:

FloppyWord is adapted from source code provided by Microsoft Corporation for users of the Microsoft Visual C++ development system and the Microsoft Foundation Classes product. Cetus Software wishes to thank Microsoft for making the source code available to developers, and it is in the spirit of such sharing that Cetus Software wishes to distribute FloppyWord as freeware.

Cetus Software hopes you will be pleased with FloppyWord.

(CNotePad is a 32-bit application, for use with Windows 95. Cetus Software also distributes NotePad3, essentially the same program but for 16-bit Windows 3.x.)

•	Cetus CWordPad Word Processor is an enhanced implementation of the Windows 95 WordPad application that is provided as an accessory with the Windows 95 operating system. CWordPad provides all the functionality of WordPad, plus it also features a spell checking function and a more complete Help file.

Cetus Shareware
The following shareware programs are being distributed by Cetus Software:

•	StormWindows for Windows 95 will allow the authorized user to add several types and degrees of protections to the desktop and system of a Windows 95 computer. Intelligent use of StormWindows security measures will allow secure use of any shared Windows 95 computer.

•	StormWindows desktop protections include: hiding all desktop icons; preventing the saving of desktop changes; hiding all drives in "My Computer"; hiding the Start Menu Subfolders, Settings, and/or Taskbar; and hiding the entire "Network Neighborhood", or just "Entire Network" or "Workgroup Contents" in it.

•	StormWindows system protections include: disabling the MS-DOS prompt and/or the running of MS-DOS applications; blocking the running of Registration Editor and/or System Policy Editor; preventing the merging of .REG files into the Registry; preventing the addition or deletion of printers; and individually hiding "sensitive" Control Panel pages and settings.

•	StormWindows protections would probably be most useful to someone in charge of a number of computers at a school or business, a network manager, or a parent. Access to the program is password protected.

•	ProGuard V.2.2 password-protects Windows 3.1x icons, making it impossible for guest users to run selected programs simply by double-clicking on their icons in Program Manager. ProGuard can also prevent guest users from creating, modifying, copying, moving, or deleting Program Manager icons, or from using the New, Move, Copy, Delete, and Run commands in Program Manager's File Menu.

•	WinGuard V.2.4 is a Windows 3.1x program that offers considerable global security for the Program Manager desktop. Perhaps the best description of WinGuard was provided by John Hedtke in a review in "Mobile Office" Magazine:

•	"Other than using the Windows screen saver to restrict access to Windows completely, the big security issues for Windows users are freezing your desktop configuration and restricting access to specific program groups. WinGuard from Cetus Software can take care of both problems."

•	"I like WinGuard's screen layout. The toolbar at the top of the screen is convenient for quick access to system features. When you move the pointer over the buttons, you get help at the bottom of the screen. The help file is quite professional and complete."

•	"WinGuard provides seven levels of protection. At the lowest, no rearrangement of the Program Manager will be saved. At increasingly higher levels, users can't change program groups, program items, command lines, or item properties. At the highest two security levels, users can't start a program with the Run line, and the File menu is removed entirely from Program Manager."

•	"You can't hide specific icons (except for parts of the Control Panel), but you can hide program groups. You can use this feature along with the protection levels to lock Windows up pretty tightly. For example, you can use WinGuard to lock out the File Run menu and then lock out access to the DOS and File Manager icons by hiding the Main program group. Guest users won't be able to run any program they can't see an icon for."

•	"You need to restart Windows to enable the changes you've made. Making subsequent changes isn't difficult: run WinGuard again, give it your password, and blaze away. (The default password is "shield" but you should change this to something else.)"

Cetus Software hopes you will try, and will be pleased with, our products.
