CAD/Off 1.01
--------------------------
NAME
cadoff - disables the CTRL-ALT-DEL rebooting keys
SYNOPSIS
There are no arguments by now; if you give any parameter, only an
"about" window will be shown and the program will exit immediatly
after that.
DESCRIPTION
CAD/Off is a small utility that disables the CTRL-ALT-DEL key
combination that normaly starts a reboot and enables it again after
system shutdown, allowing to reboot the system then.
Note 1: According to the documentations I have, the system function of
the keyboard device that I use (and which is the only way to disable
the rebooting keys) should also disable ALT+ESC and CTRL+ESC, thus
making it a bit hard to switch between sessions. Fortunatly that never
happened on my system. Maybe the working of this function has changed
a bit with time and versions of OS/2. Just remember not to be
suprised, if you experience that "feature" on your system.
Note 2: AFAIK it is only possible to *toggle* the state of the keys,
not explicitly set them to "disabled" or "enabled". So if you start
the program, when the keys are already disabled (by some other program
e.g.) or if you kill the program (there is currently no way to quit
properly, other thhan through system shutdown) and start it again, the
keys will then be *enabled*!
INSTALLATION
If you've unzipped the archiv (which seems to be the case, since you
are reading this file ;-) and copied the files to some appropriate
directory, you're done.
USING THE KEYBOARD
There are no special hotkeys by now.
MOUSE SUPPORT
And there is no mouse support too.
FILES
cadoff.exe The program itself.
cadoff.doc The file you are reading at the moment :-)
cadoff.ico CAD/Off icon for the WPS.
file_id.diz Short program-description.
BUGS
Hopefully none, but who knows ...
TO DO
I have no further plans, as this utility was written not for me but
someone else ...
