- PASSWORD.ASM Version 1.0
- By Bo McCormick 8/6/81
- This is a program that adds password protection to programs. Format:
- PASSWORD
- name_of_file
-
- Then answer the prompt with the password to be applied to the program:
- Password: enter password here. If everything goes well, the program will be
- saved to disk. If not, a message is printed and control is passed to the CCP.
-
- The good part of this is, when you type in the program name next time,
- instead of running the program right away, the program asks you for the
- password. If you reply with something other than the original password, the
- program doesn't run, and it returns to the ccp.

- NOTES by B. Workman 2/20/85
-
- Password works very well on all of the programs I've tried. It is case
- concious. If you use a combination of upper and lower case or if you use all
- one case, Password demands that the password is the same, forever. I have not
- had much luck in changing a password on an existing file. One time I had to
- give it both the new password and the old one to get into the file. If you
- think you ar e going to need to change passwords on the program frequently,
- keep a back-up copy of the program without a password installed. If you need
- to change the password, delete the old .COM file, copy the new one onto the
- disk and run Password again. It's safer that way.
