Description:
Enigma is a 32 bit shareware registration and source code generation
program for visual basic developers.
It offers three unique levels (types) of shareware registration protection,
from simple numeric codes up to nine characters in length, to complex alpha
numeric codes near 20 characters in length. Enigma stores information that
you enter about each project. When your customer information is entered, it
is encrypted with the project information to generate individual registration
codes that will only work for that program. Level three is unique in that it
thwarts a bogus registration process before the actual registration
information is entered. It does this by reading an alpha numeric indicator
called a "kickout" which is unique to each project. If the kickout is wrong,
the registration is stopped.
You can write all your programs information to a file or the system registry
simply by clicking either one on the interface and entering a path.
Easily cripple and/or date limit your shareware.
Saves all important information about each project for future use. It cannot
be accidentally altered or destroyed. You simply click a button and the
information is ready to be pasted into a project.
Pastes all the registration information to your customers email response to
avoid inadvertant errors in transfering information.
Additional Information:
In order to accomodate those developers that wanted to try out the source
code and get a feel for it's use, version 3.1 will generate source code
on level 1 using the project information you enter. It will not generate
unique registration codes or source code using levels 2 and 3 until it's
registered.
Corrects the over length fields in Your Information and Registration
Information. Fixes bug that allows date limiting to be entered into source
without a number of days.
*This program was written and designed on Windows 95, It may or
may not work an Windows NT or some other 32 bit Operating Systems.
If you use it on an Operating System other than Windows 95 I make
no guarantees about performance.
**The screen resolution for development was 800 X 600 and was chosen
because it is the average setting by users. The program should be
usuable with other settings, but if you notice some fonts difficult
to read, that is probably the reason.
Installation:
Simply unzip the contents into a temporary directory and run the setup.
You must be running Windows 95.
Trouble Shooting:
For the sake of download time and distribution size, some of the files
that may be necessary to run this software have been intentionally left
out of this zip. This wasn't a haphazard decision, most systems will
already have these files, or most of them. Including them would double
the download time. So for those of you that already have them, I am
sure you appreciate the reduction in size, for those that don't the
problem is easily resolved.
This a list of the missing files.
VB40032.dll
VEN2232.dll
OLEPRO32.olb
MSVCRT20.dll
MSVCRT40.dll
CTL3D32.dll
If you encounter any errors pertaining to these files, I have them
zipped up at my web page. The URL is:
http://webwrite.com/savantguarde/vbasic/runtime.zip
If you downloaded this from msn, you can get them in the "Shareware
Tools Library". If you downloaded this from winsite or some other
archive, they too have these files zipped up, look for vb40032.zip or
something of that nature. Just unzip them all into your Windows\System
directory. The only exception may be the CTL3D32.dll, which may have
to be placed in the Enigma directory.
Common Errors
Below are some common errors that may occur during the installation
process. The install will be aborted, a screen will display with the
cause of the error and all installed files will be removed.
òError: Install cannot find the st4unst.00x file.
òError: Install cannot find the st4unst.exe file.
òSolution: The above errors can be caused by either old runtime files
or lack of them. In either case it is recommended that you download the
most current files.
òError: Install cannot find vb40032.dll or one of the files listed above.
òSolution: This is caused by the runtime files not being on your system.
Download the runtime.zip and follow the instructions in the Readme.txt
