- The setup is, large, due to QuickBasic. But it's actually a pretty
- short file as far as operation goes. It should be run as a first
- time setup when configuring PcLock. It will create NMS.DEF, the
- configuration file that PcLock will use.
-
- Here is a sample NMS.DEF file that setup has configured.
-
- ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- ├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤
- │ -[ Welcome To The 386 PoWeR Station! ]- │ <- System Title
- │ 0 │ <- Log Toggle
- │ john sneeringer;password │ <- Account 1
- │ homer simpson;bart │ <- Account 2
- │ captain kangaroo;bald │ <- Account 3
- └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘ etc..
-
- As you can see, the first line is just the name of your system. It can
- be up to 40 characters long. It will be centered in PcLock in a 40
- character space so that is why you are limited. If you enter anything
- over 40 characters manually with a text editor, it will be truncated.
-
- The second line can be either 0 or 1. Its a toggle switch for telling
- PcLock whether you want to have the usage log on or off.
-
- The third line and on are accounts. It doesn't matter whether you use
- capitals or not, they will not matter in PcLocks operation.
- The password is seperated by a ';' and can be about 50 character long
- if you really want it to be.
-
- After creating NMS.DEF with PCLSETUP.EXE (which should be the first
- thing you do) you must copy NMS.DEF, PCLOCK_3.EXE and IDLE.EXE
- to your root directory. Then edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT to include
- PCLOCK_3.EXE where you want it to load. It's advisable that you
- add BREAK ON as your 1st line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT to protect the user
- from aborting the batch file.

- Once installed, just enter in your name and respective password.
- After a few moments of activity (as shown by a bar graph) the system
- will enter the appropriate IDLE.EXE that was created for your monitor.
- Either will be a artsy square and circles display for Mono, CGA, or
- EGA.. or it will be a VGA raindrop effect for VGA monitors.
-
- Only 2 screen savers are available now, but I'm doing my damnest to
- collect more. If you have a screen saver you like and want to use with
- PcLock, just rename it to IDLE.EXE and toss it in PcLocks path!
-
- The program's operation is very simple. It's protected well against
- errors and such, so don't worry about it. It's a simple program and
- requires no special knowledge to run.
