-
- Purpose : Locks the values of selected CMOS bytes.

- Author : Roger Wylde @ Nifty Software.

- Instructions
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- CMOSProtect is a desktop task (without and icon) which will
- protect the values of a list of CMOS bytes. When loaded it
- reads in a list of CMOS addresses in the !Run file, the
- values stored at these address are then stored. Once every
- second it looks at the CMOS checksum, if this has changed it
- writes back all of the stoted values and then makes a note
- of the new CMOS checksum. This allows other bytes to be
- changed freely.
-
- 'Where do I get these magical addresses' I hear you ask,
- simple look in the Programmers Reference Manual (PRM).
- 'I don't have a copy of that excerlent piece of reference
- material' - well either buy it or find someone who will
- lend it to you.
-
- For starters here are some good ones :-
-
- 188 - screen blanker and other things,
- 198 - various filer options.

- Legal Bit
- ~~~~~~~~~
-
- This program is freeware, you may copy it as much as you like,
- but never charge more than nominal amounts (ie. for time and
- media). If you feel the urge to include it on a PD/Cover CD
- then I'd like a free copy or at least a discount on buying it.
-
- No responsibility can be accepted for the results of the use
- or misuse of this application.
-
- Enjoy,
