- Welcome:
- ==============================================
-
- Thank you for looking at Chastity. Chastity was born out of a need that
- I had....Keep my children... who also use our home computer... from being
- able to access areas that contained information that they could damage. They
- were also having problems running programs in Windows.
-
- Chastity lets them type in their name and get the menu that Dad set up for
- them. They can't accidently damage my files and they can easily run their
- favorite games, etc.
-
- Well, that's how it began. It sure is alot more than that now. With the
- implementation of password protection, Chastity goes a long way towards
- keeping prying eyes from any system. It is currently providing security for
- several small businesses. The To-Do list is a great addition to my daily
- desktop. I know it's very simple. But it works. If there is an interest,I
- will develop the To-Do list into a more complex system.. with priorities,
- dates due, etc. For now... the simpler the better works for me.
-
- You be the judge.
-
- Install:
- ==============================================
- To install Chastity you should:
-
- 1. Unzip the files in any directory on your hard drive. From the DOS prompt
- you should type:
-
- MD \Chastity <Enter>
- CD \Chastity <Enter>
- A:Chasty <Enter> This will unzip all the files
-
- 2. To make Chastity your shell you should:
-
- Run Sysedit <Alt>File Run Sysedit <Enter>
- Select System.ini
- Find the line that says "Shell=Progman"
- Replace Progman with "c:\chastity\chastity.exe"
- Restart Windows
-
- * You may want to consider loading it in the Windows directory. It's path
- already exists and most dialog boxes default to this directory. It will mean
- less changing directories as you look for Icons, pifs, etc.
-
- To do that you should: (Instead of #1 above)
-
- CD \Windows <Enter>
- A:Chasty <Enter> This will unzip all the files
-
- VBRUN100.DLL Required:
- ==============================================
- Chastity is a Visual Basic program and therefore requires VBRUN100.dll in
- order to run. You can download VBRUN100.dll from the same library you
- downloaded Chastity.
-
- Revision History:
-
- 8/21/92 1.02c
-
- This is more of an enhancement than a revision. I have added a Dos without
- DOS window. I trap some things that Windows does a little cleaner than DOS
- and perform those tasks in Windows. The others are passed to DOS to run. I
- love it and I think you will too. It's the best of both worlds. You have
- your Drag and Drop GUI stuff in Windows with immediate access to any DOS
- command, program or batch file. You can also launch Windows programs by
- preceding the program name with a "^". To run Clock.exe you would type
- ^ Clock <Enter>. Boom!! Up it comes.
-
- Also you can click on the DOS Window Caption, which by the way now tells you
- the current directory, and a DOS prompt will appear.
-
- The Password Prompt has been hidden until you type your name. It confused my
- kids... since they don't have passwords. If you do assign a password to your
- menu then simply type your name and press <Enter>. The password entry field
- will then appear.
-
- Default settings may be modified by you by selecting Edit Defaults.
-
- The 3 Menu Levels are now active. I've added radio buttons to make changing
- levels a much simpler.
-
- I've added the ability to store the default directory for each program. It
- is part of the Add Menu Entry dialog screen.
-
- I've added a Log Off / Change User Icon to the Button Bar. Again, it's hard
- for small children to know how to change from one child's menu to another. I
- found that my children were actually turning the computer off just to get
- back to the Log In Screen. Go Figure!
-
- I've added a "View Done Items" under the To-Do List Menu.
-
- If you make changes to your menu system and save those changes, the system
- now informs you of the directory and file name used to save the changes.
-
- Chastity comes with some icons. I am presently adding code to "Grab" the
- Icon from any Windows program, but it is not ready at this time.
