- Amilock is a series of programs which demonstrates inter process
- communications, as well as the use of interrupt handlers. The interrupt
- handlers are used to disable/limit keyboard and mouse inputs, thereby
- allowing the console to be 'frozen' the mouse can still move, but no
- mouse clicks are possible.
-
- The program does not black out the screen, but any blanker can
- be run in background and will function properly, any other program can
- also run and swap screens etc, however the program will ensure that the
- keyboard and mouse buttons appear to be inactive from the point of view
- of the other programs.
-
- Great to stop your children and others from using you machine
- when you are running that great raytrace which you have spent hours
- working on.
-
- The program can be overcome by the ctrl+Lamiga+RightAmiga, and
- the power switch of course, but all other bypasses have been removed.
