INTRODUCTION
CURTAINS is a desk accessory that completely covers your ST's screen.
When some snooping person touches your keyboard or mouse, an alert will
flash and a siren will sound. Only by entering the password can it be
disabled.
The password is "f10" (not too obvious, eh). By registering you can
have a version of CURTAINS with your own personal password. (letters and
numbers only)

NEW FEATURES FOR CURTAINS II
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Curtains II operates much like the original CURTAINS with added
security features for hard drive users.
The original CURTAINS could easily be defeated by simply rebooting the
computer. When AUTOCURT.PR is placed in your AUTO folder, your computer
is protected from unauthorized use. The following functions are ONLY
available when AUTOCURT.PR has been copied into the AUTO folder on
drive C.
ACTIVATE and CANCEL
These functions are obvious. Activate is the default and can be
selected by pressing the return key.
LOCK or UNLOCK
If your system is unlocked, this button will read "LOCK" and if it is
locked, the button is labeled "UNLOCK". To change the status you must
select this button and then enter the password.
AUTOLOCK
If AUTLOCK is selected, the first unsuccessful attempt at entry will
set the system status to locked. When you have correctly entered the
password, the system is unlocked. AUTOLOCK is not selectable if your
system is already "LOCKED".
HOW IT WORKS
When you copy AUTOCURT.PR into you Auto folder it is ignored at boot up
since it is not an executable program; your system is UNLOCKED. When
the status is change to LOCKED with the "LOCK" button or after 3
unsuccessful attempts at entry, CURTAINS changes the file name to
AUTOCURT.PRG and then hides the file. Now the program IS executable.
If the computer is reset the correct password must be entered to
complete the boot-up process.
CURTAINS can be used without AUTOCURT and vice versa. To lock your
system without CURTAINS, change AUTOCURT.PR to AUTOCURT.PRG
Note that some screen savers will not work with CURTAINS activated.
The screen saver that is part of MACCELL works fine.
Don't lock yr'self out. :~)
