-

-
-
- INTRO:
- ------
- One night I had a nightmare... there's been a party in my house and a lot of
- unknown guys were playing with my A4000... and when I woke up all my datas
- were lost forever...
- (I am not joking: I really had this nightmare ;)
- So I decided to create SafeLocks.
-
- WHAT IS:
- --------
- Un/Locking devices is alway a good way of knowing exactly what on hell some
- nasty progs are going to add to your HDs. Personally I do not like installers
- which try to copy this file here and the other one there. I MUST know exactly
- where the files end.
-
- Before SafeLocks I used to have Lock/Unlock commands to my Tools menu to
- lock and unlock devs. But it was not safe, because anyone using my Amiga
- without my permission could unlock the devs and delete or mess up everything.
-
- So I decided to create SafeLocks.
- This proggy is a VERY LITTLE commodity which will help you Lock/Unlock devs
- is a safer way. First of all, being a commodity, it will not be seen by the
- "normal" user: he have to know Amiga has a program called "Exchage" to get in
- touch with it...
- Second, this commo has no Hot Keys... so the user cannot switch it on
- casually...
-
- Third, even if these points does not impress you, just try it out for a
- moment and you will see how simply and comfy is to use SafeLocks as a simple
- device Lock/UnLocker program.
-
- HOW TO INSTALL IT:
- ------------------
- The installation of SafeLocks is very easy.
- The most difficult part is the creation of the SafeLocks.prefs file, an ASCII
- file you have to store in ENVARC: directory.
-
- Put the files SafeLocks and SafeLocks.info into your WBStartup directory.
- Copy SafeLocks.prefs inside your ENVARC: and ENV: directory.
- CD inside ENVARC: and edit SafeLocks.prefs with an ASCII editor.
-
- The editing of SafeLocks.prefs is simple. You have to provide three lines for
- any device you wish to lock or unlock. Any line starting with a ";" as first
- char will be ignored.
-
- The three line HAVE TO BE in this order:
-
- DEVICENAME: - Ex. HD1... DH1 and so on... (REAL device name, not
- "Work:")
- Password - Without Spaces!!! Ex. ThisIsAGoodPassword
- STATUS - Must be: LOCKED or UNLOCKED
-
- See the SafeLocks.prefs inside this archive for an example.
-
- One you have done, save all and reboot your Amiga.
-
-
- HOW TO USE IT:
- --------------
- Call Exchange and click on SafeLocks program.
- Click on "Show Interface".
-
- SafeLocks will appear in this way:
-
- +---+------------------+
- | x | SafeLocks V1.00 | -> The Drag Bar
- +---+------------------+
- | |
- | *HD0 | -> Here there is the complete list of devs
- | HD1 | -> '*' devs are Locked.
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- +----------------+-----+
- |+---------------+ +---+
- || (Un)Lock | | ? | -> Here there is the (Un)Lock and infos
- ++---------------+-+---+ buttons.
-
- First of all, click on the device you wish to (Un)Lock, then press the (Un)Lock
- button. If the device were unlocked SafeLocks will automatically lock it,
- otherwise the dev will be locked.
-
- To close the interface, just press the CloseGadget.
- NOTE: closing the interface won't kill the apllication. To remove the
- Commodity, you have to use Exchange!!
