- Description:
-
- Enigma is a 32 bit shareware registration and source code generation
- program for visual basic developers.
-
- It offers three unique levels (types) of shareware registration protection,
- from simple numeric codes up to nine characters in length, to complex alpha
- numeric codes near 20 characters in length. Enigma stores information that
- you enter about each project. When your customer information is entered, it
- is encrypted with the project information to generate individual registration
- codes that will only work for that program. Level three is unique in that it
- thwarts a bogus registration process before the actual registration
- information is entered. It does this by reading an alpha numeric indicator
- called a "kickout" which is unique to each project. If the kickout is wrong,
- the registration is stopped.
-
- You can write all your programs information to a file or the system registry
- simply by clicking either one on the interface and entering a path.
-
- Easily cripple and/or date limit your shareware.
-
- Saves all important information about each project for future use. It cannot
- be accidentally altered or destroyed. You simply click a button and the
- information is ready to be pasted into a project.
-
- Pastes all the registration information to your customers email response to
- avoid inadvertant errors in transfering information.
-
- Additional Information:
-
- In order to accomodate those developers that wanted to try out the source
- code and get a feel for it's use, version 3.1 will generate source code
- on level 1 using the project information you enter. It will not generate
- unique registration codes or source code using levels 2 and 3 until it's
- registered.
-
- Corrects the over length fields in Your Information and Registration
- Information. Fixes bug that allows date limiting to be entered into source
- without a number of days.
-
- *This program was written and designed on Windows 95, It may or
- may not work an Windows NT or some other 32 bit Operating Systems.
- If you use it on an Operating System other than Windows 95 I make
- no guarantees about performance.
-
- **The screen resolution for development was 800 X 600 and was chosen
- because it is the average setting by users. The program should be
- usuable with other settings, but if you notice some fonts difficult
- to read, that is probably the reason.
-
- Installation:
-
- Simply unzip the contents into a temporary directory and run the setup.
-
- You must be running Windows 95.
-
- Trouble Shooting:
-
- For the sake of download time and distribution size, some of the files
- that may be necessary to run this software have been intentionally left
- out of this zip. This wasn't a haphazard decision, most systems will
- already have these files, or most of them. Including them would double
- the download time. So for those of you that already have them, I am
- sure you appreciate the reduction in size, for those that don't the
- problem is easily resolved.
-
- This a list of the missing files.
-
- VB40032.dll
- VEN2232.dll
- OLEPRO32.olb
- MSVCRT20.dll
- MSVCRT40.dll
- CTL3D32.dll
-
- If you encounter any errors pertaining to these files, I have them
- zipped up at my web page. The URL is:
-
- No Longer Valid-This error should not occur if you are using Visual Basic
-
- If you downloaded this from msn, you can get them in the "Shareware
- Tools Library". If you downloaded this from winsite or some other
- archive, they too have these files zipped up, look for vb40032.zip or
- something of that nature. Just unzip them all into your Windows\System
- directory. The only exception may be the CTL3D32.dll, which may have
- to be placed in the Enigma directory.
-
- Common Errors
-
- Below are some common errors that may occur during the installation
- process. The install will be aborted, a screen will display with the
- cause of the error and all installed files will be removed.
-
- òError: Install cannot find the st4unst.00x file.
- òError: Install cannot find the st4unst.exe file.
-
- òSolution: The above errors can be caused by either old runtime files
- or lack of them. In either case it is recommended that you download the
- most current files.
-
- òError: Install cannot find vb40032.dll or one of the files listed above.
-
- òSolution: This is caused by the runtime files not being on your system.
- Download the runtime.zip and follow the instructions in the Readme.txt
