; Program for password protection of the system
; Written by Dave Staehlin
; 5430 Candleglow NE
; Albuquerque,NM 87111
; (505) 822-1889
;
; Enter the password desired at the 'psw' label. Note that this routine
; is set up for a 20 character maximum length password.
;
; Use this program by entering your password below and assembling this
; program into a .COM type file by using EXE2BIN. Then place the command
; PASSWORD as the first line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This program
; will not keep anyone that knows what their doing off your system but
; it will keep the kids, wifey, and nosey secretaries from gaining
; unauthorized access to your system. It serves its purpose on a hard
; disk system. I don't know how useful it would be on a floppy based system
; however.
;
; Since this is my first attempt at 8088 assembler, I assume no responsibility
; for my oddball way of coding this! I've still got a lot to learn!
