IMPORTANT
---------
FLamKey can be freely distributed provided the Copyright notice
is intact and no charge for it or for its use is made without
written permission of the author.
FLamKey is SHAREWARE program. Please, send 10$ to the author
if you feel his effort worth it.
WHAT IT DOES
------------
FLamKey installs a little key on the Workbench screen title bar.
After that, it just waits in the background until somebody clicks
on it. When activated, it opens a window and presents some options
to the user. If 'LOCK' option is selected, FLamKey cuts off all
mouse and keyboard inputs until user clicks at the key again and
enters a right password (if defined).
FLamKey is very usefull when your AMIGA is surrounded by some life forms
(people, children, dogs, cats etc..) that just wait for a moment
you leave the room to start a mess with the keyboard and the mouse.
Though the reset keys (CTRL-A-A) and the power switch are still
accessible, when you return, you can be sure of one of two things:
- or the state of the software is just the same as before.
- or AMIGA rebooted.
Note that ONLY keyboard and mouse inputs are disabled. Programs will
work, drives will spin, serial and other ports will be active.
HOW TO START
------------
Under Workbench just click on FLamKey icon.
Under CLI type RUN FLamKey
HOW TO USE
----------
Whenever you want to activate FLamKey, click on small key in the
Workbench title bar. FlamKey will open a window with a choice of
options. Click PASSWORD option to define password, LOCK option
to lock inputs, STAND BY option to close window and to return FLamKey
on the title bar, STOP to remove FLamKey completely.
NOTES
-----
FlamKey doesn't interfiere with other programs and is harmless (unless
you forgot your password, then the only way to 'recover' is to reboot
the machine).
