PASSWORD.ASM Version 1.0
By Bo McCormick 8/6/81
This is a program that adds password protection to programs. Format:
PASSWORD
name_of_file
Then answer the prompt with the password to be applied to the program:
Password: enter password here. If everything goes well, the program will be
saved to disk. If not, a message is printed and control is passed to the CCP.
The good part of this is, when you type in the program name next time,
instead of running the program right away, the program asks you for the
password. If you reply with something other than the original password, the
program doesn't run, and it returns to the ccp.
NOTES by B. Workman 2/20/85
Password works very well on all of the programs I've tried. It is case
concious. If you use a combination of upper and lower case or if you use all
one case, Password demands that the password is the same, forever. I have not
had much luck in changing a password on an existing file. One time I had to
give it both the new password and the old one to get into the file. If you
think you ar e going to need to change passwords on the program frequently,
keep a back-up copy of the program without a password installed. If you need
to change the password, delete the old .COM file, copy the new one onto the
disk and run Password again. It's safer that way.
