- Re: Beware LOCK.LBR timebomb
-
- BEWARE!!! A program called LOCK, which has been recently uploaded
- to some RCPMs, apparently has the potential of making .COM files
- unusable. This is another example of what can happen when we support
- programs which are released without source code.

- I downloaded the LOCK.LBR and without checking very carefully used the
- LOCK.COM. I tried to use lockout.com as the unlock.com file.
- Surprize, it isn't that file. Do you know where I can get a copy of
- both unlock.com and mkey.com? Or how to recover my locked file? Last
- time I'll use a new program on a needed file. Thanks

- Dan, you're not alone. One of our club (D:KUG) members also locked a
- file and can't un-lock it. If your file is not proprietary, up-load
- it to this system and leave me a message as to which drive and what
- file name. I will then down-load it and get with one of by friends
- who is a CP/M wizzard and see if he can un-lock it.
- Good luck, Bill Crocker
