INTELLIKEY V 1.1
NOTICE: Requires OS2.0.
First, the obligatory legal stuff.
================================================================================
IntelliKey 1.1 is Copyright 1992 by Vallen Software. All rights reserved.
IntelliKey is freely distributable, but ONLY IN THE ARCHIVE FORMAT. ALL
FILES IN THE ARCHIVE MUST BE INCLUDED TOGETHER.

================================================================================
WELCOME -- to IntelliKey version 1.1! :)
********************************* SETUP ***********************************
IntelliKey is easy to get working and set to your own preferences. Follow
the steps below.
o Move the IntelliKey.config to your S: directory.
o Note: Do NOT modify IntelliKey.config manually. You should never
need to, so don't. Use the "config" option on IntelliKey to
change your config. If you want to add comments into your config
file, then that's fine. Comments are anything that IntelliKey
doesn't recognize as a specifier (i.e., opts=.., tries=...). So
putting "Good evening, folks." in your config file is fine.
However, putting "mode=This is ...blah blah blah." is NOT fine.
o Type "IntelliKey config" and set yourself up.
o Note: For the "mode" entry, normal pertains to a 640x200 screen,
and lace pertains to a 640x400 screen. I recommend the
latter.
o Put the line "IntelliKey" in your Startup-sequence. Placement is
EXTREMELY crucial!! Place it so it's after "SetClock load >nil:" (or
whatever it may be), but place it BEFORE the first program that
outputs or opens its own screen or window. In OS 2.0, the Startup-
Sequence is unbreakable--immune to ^D--however, it is not bypassable.
Therefore, put it in the right spot in your Startup-Sequence so that
IntelliKey is unavoidable, unless of course they bypass the Startup-
Sequence. I put "IntelliKey" right after IPrefs.
o Go ahead and reset and try it out!
********************************* OPTIONS *********************************
This section is an explanation of the options in the config file.
These are all the possible entries you could have in your config file:
tries=<x>
mode=<x>
loglevel=<x>
passwd=<x>
col=<x>
opts=<x>
ddiv=<x>
timeout=<x>
suppassword=<x>
Where <x> is some argument of some amount of parameters.
(Again, use "IntelliKey config" to configure! Don't edit S:IntelliKey.config
manually unless you really know what you're doing.)
TRIES:
This indicates how many failed attempts before denying access. If you set
this at 2, for instance, a scene might look like this:
Enter password: blah
Wrong, try again.
Enter password: computer
Sorry, incorrect. Access denied.
MODE:
This is the screen mode to use for the IntelliKey screen. Explained above.
LOGLEVEL:
This is the log level for when people try to give a password to IntelliKey.
Explained in IntelliKey's config mode.
PASSWD:
This is your password. It's encrypted, so don't worry about anyone
checking out your config to find out what your password is.
COL:
Defines the colors for the IntelliKey screen.
OPTS:
Various options:
dim: IntelliKey screen dims as soon as it comes up, and un-dims when a
key is hit. Prevents monitor burn.
DDIV:
Defines the darkness divisor. i.e., if ddiv=2, and you have the dim option
defined, the color values will be divided by 2. A ddiv of 16 would result in
a completely dark screen.
TIMEOUT:
This sets the dimmer timeout value. The unit is in ticks, so you'll have
to experiment. The screen, if not already dim, will dim after <x> ticks.
SUPPASSWORD:
StartUP password or "config" password. Rather than typing your IntelliKey
password in order to config, you have two separate passwords. This is to
avoid problems with having to input a RawMode password to config.
********************************* SPECIAL *********************************
Special key functions are explained here, along with other things.
Hitting <ESC> will dim the screen. The "dim" option just dims the IK screen
right away. You can use <ESC> to do it manually.
If you hit a non-alpha or non-digit key (anything other than a letter or a
number), the screen will flash.
But this pertains to non-raw mode. Starting with version 1.1, IntelliKey
supports raw passwords, which may consist of ANYTHING on your keyboard, even
mouse buttons. Your password could be something like: hold down left shift,
press the middle mouse button twice (if you have one), turn on caps lock, hit
F3, turn off caps lock, release left shift. HOWEVER!! You can NOT hold down
all keys. If you do, they will repeat. See the file "raw.table" to find out
which keys repeat when held down and which don't. This is important.
============================================================================
If you have ANY question whatsoever, or suggestions, comments, doubts,
or need any help at all, don't hesitate to e-mail me! You can reach me at

---------
IntelliKey 1.1 is ShareWare! I've spent countless hours staying up late
perfecting this thing. All I ask for is a mere donation of $10 to $20. You
don't have to, of course. But I'd really really appreciate it, and it would
give me incentive to develop more things.
You can send checks or money orders. Make checks out to "Sam Hulick," not
Vallen Software.
Again, I emphasize that you send me any suggestions or anything at all, and
I'll try my very best to implement it.

Thank you.
