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.
