Included in this archive file you will find a variety of password programs.
Video Requirements:
Saver requires that you have a video card capable of
graphics. The Saver program recognizes and uses active video
modes of VGA, EGA, CGA and Hercules. This program will work
with a MDA adapter. However, there will be no graphics output
in MDA mode. Saver has been tested for VGA, CGA, and Hercules
modes. The program has also been tuned for 386-16Mhz systems
with VGA graphics. None of the other programs require graphics.
Processor Requirements:
All executeables have been created to run on a 286 or better machine.
If you need to have executeables for an 8086 machine please note this
when registering.
If the password is not entered properly in the given number of
attempts an alarm will sound and an Access Denied message will
appear on screen. No further access will be allowed to the computer
until it is rebooted. The speakers in most PC's is loud enough that
this will draw the attention of office and or security personnel in
the area.
The programs in this package are good to run when you have to leave your
workstation for a brief period of time. For instance, you have
to speak with your manager in his office for a few minutes. Maybe
you have a daily conference to attend and do not want to power
cycle your computer.
The mylock2, tsaver and saver programs display some "statistics" when
the proper password is entered, unlocking the computer. It displays
the date and time the program was started, the date and time the password
was verified and the number of "bad keys" that were entered. This information
can be used to tell you if someone else tried to access the machine,
"bad keys" is the number of bad passwords. If the start time does not
correspond to the time that you started the program, then someone may have
guessed your password and started the program again.
Another noted feature of the programs in this package is that the person
attempting access can not "break out" of the program by means of
a control-break or control-c. This is very important.
The password that you choose is also very important.
Don't pick something simple like your name or the name of someone
close to you. People are likely to guess these names right away.
Choose something that is easy for YOU to remember but may appear
to be nonsense to other people. For example: Kod9109. This
password may not make much sense to you but to me it says kodiak,
Kodiak Enterprises officially became a company in 1991 and my birthday is in
the ninth month. You will also note that the capital case K is significant.
The password program sees k and K as two distinctly different characters.
Therefore the following passwords are all different: ab, aB, Ab, AB.
If you decide to use MyLock in your autoexec.bat it would
be a good idea not to tell other people your password. In most
situations it is likely that you alone are responsible for the
equipment and the data stored thereon. So don't tell other people
your password. What good is a password if everybody knows what
it is?
You may also want to setup batch files to run the programs from.
When you register the software, you will receive new executeables
where the "Please register" message will be replaced with a message
noting that the software is registered to you. It is also possible
to have defaults changed when you register the software. For example,
you may want a different prompt or attempts allowed.
It is possible to have a custom version of the software created for you,
at a negotiated rate. For example some companies may want a header on
all of the windows with the name of the company. Other companies or
individuals may want a warning message prepended to the output of the program.
For example, "Use of this machine by Unauthorized Personnel is Illegal."
This program is distributed under the shareware concept. If you
continue to use this software you are required to register it
with Kodiak Enterprises.
Rates are as follows:
License for: Cost:
1 $ 35
5 $150
10 $250
11+ $negotiable
Custom Version $variable
