I'm sure someone could break the encryption algorithm for this

friends or fellow employees who may have only a limited time to
try to get in. Of course the more obscure you make the password,
the harder it is for them to figure it out.

( 1 ) SETTING UP
------------------
Ocultar works in LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH resolution with the exception of
OCULTARC.PRG, the password installation part of the program. This part
of Ocultar only works in MED and HIGH resolution. Since it is only
needed to install the password it is not necessary to have it work
in LOW resolution. The part of the program which provides security
for your system works in LOW, MED and HIGH resolution. Ocultar will
work on both a floppy disk and a hard disk.
To use Ocultar you must first install it on your "boot" disk or drive.
This is generally (but not always) the drive from which you load your
accessories.
You will first need to create a folder named AUTO (if you don't already
have one) on the "boot" disk or drive you are booting from. This will
most often be drive A or C. The AUTO folder contains programs which
load and\or run automatically whenever you turn on your computer.
If you are using a hard disk which is self-booting your AUTO folder
will generally be placed directly after the hard disk driver file.
If you have a hard disk which is NOT self booting then you probably
have an AUTO folder on a disk in drive A. This AUTO folder would contain
a hard disk driver program ie: AHDI.PRG.
( 2 ) OCULTARA.PRG
--------------------
a) The AUTO folder\auto booting
There are some programs which MAY need to be run before OCULTARA.PRG
ie: AHDI.PRG (the hard disk driver). These are generally programs which
tell your computer about the setup you are using and are considered
system files. These programs should be run BEFORE OCULTARA.PRG to
ensure that your computer is set up to receive information properly.
If it is NOT necessary for you to use any of these "system" files
then you should make OCULTARA.PRG the VERY FIRST program in your
AUTO folder. OCULTARA.PRG is completely independent and does NOT
require any auto-booting help. To ensure that OCULTARA.PRG is the
VERY first file in your AUTO folder you can do the following.
First, copy EVERYTHING out of your AUTO folder to a safe place.
Next, erase everything from your AUTO folder, BUT FIRST make sure
you have backup copies of EVERYTHING on the same disk as your AUTO
folder. This will protect you from accidently erasing a valuable
file. Lastly, copy OCULTARA.PRG into your empty AUTO folder,
followed by the rest of your AUTO programs.
REMEMBER !!! If it is necessary to have "system" files run before
OCULTARA.PRG then copy those files into your AUTO folder first !
As mentioned earlier, OCULTARA.PRG is completely independent.
It does not require p
