METZ Lock is your key to Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) security!
If you're concerned with:
* Unauthorized access
* Accidental damage or destruction to your valuable programs and data
* Protecting confidential information on your system
then...
METZ Lock is your solution. It's effective, easy to use, unobtrusive--and
uses very little memory. If you use Novell(R) Netware, METZ Lock works
right along with it. METZ Lock can detect and use your Novell password, if
you like. Use METZ Lock to change your Novell password or, if you prefer,
use separate Novell and METZ Lock passwords.
With METZ Lock, you can prevent unauthorized use of your system, yet
allow applications to continue to run in the background. You can even
set up METZ Lock to prevent system rebooting with CTRL-ALT-DEL. A
comprehensive set of options keeps you in control of system access. You
can lock up every time you start Windows, at the same time every day,
or whenever your system has remained idle for a specified amount of time.
You can even use METZ Lock as a customizable Screen Saver, whether you
lock up your system or not.
With the help of a special memory-resident program, METZTSR, you'll even
be able to work in an MS-DOS window without interruption. If you need
additional security at the MS-DOS system level, you can use PC-Watchman
ACS, a special MS-DOS security application designed in cooperation with
Harcom Security Systems, Inc. (See below.)

-----------------------------PC WATCHMAN ACS---------------------------
METZ Software has also designed PCW-Lock, security software which works
in conjunction with Harcom Security Systems, Inc.'s line of security
products. PC-Watchman ACS (Access Control Software) makes it practical
to install company-wide PC security, even when there are thousands
of PC's to protect. With PC-Watchman ACS, you can avoid high implentation
costs, vulnerability to being bypassed by skilled users, and complex
installation and administration procedures.
ACS provides absolute password-protected control over system booting,
which cannot be circumvented even by booting from a floppy. ACS blanks
the screen after periods of inactivity in either MS-DOS or Windows
applications. A user-defined dialog can be used by users who forget
their passwords and a secure "Institutional Backdoor" provides for
administrative access, when the authorized user is unavailable.
Compatible with all versions of MS-DOS from 2.11 through 5.0, as well as
with Microsoft Windows, ACS is recommended for use on standalone PC's,
network workstations, and laptop computers. ACS sells for $59 per unit
with discounts for high volume customers. Harcom provides technical support
at no additional cost. For more information, contact METZ Software or:
