PASSWORD v1.1 written by Tracy L. Baker
COPYRIGHT (C) 1995 - TRACY L. BAKER
>>> A CEREBRUM RELEASE <<<
{All the legal junque is at the end of this file!}
: WHAT IS THIS PROGRAM? :
This program will install a password protection program on your computer. If
you use the installation program, INSTALL, that comes with PASSWORD, then
setup is extremely easy.
PASSWORD will not allow access to your computer unless the password is typed
in exactly as YOU specify. It also traps all CTRL-C, CTRL-BREAK, and
CTRL-ALT-DELETE so that the program cannot be abnormally exited. It will
also trap and ignore the F8 and F5 keys that allow break outs under MSDOS
6.0+.
: WHAT DO I NEED TO RUN THIS COMPUTER? :
An 80286 or better processor, MSDOS 3.0 or later, and an operating system
that uses the AUTOEXEC.BAT on boot-up are the only requirements
: HOW DO I INSTALL THIS PROGRAM :
Its EASY! Just type INSTALL, and answer a few questions. The program will
explain everything as it goes along.
It does extensive error trapping, and backs-up any file(s) changed, so you'll
not lose any data!
: HOW DO I CHANGE MY PASSWORD? :
Run INSTALL again. Its that easy. I do suggest that you do not delete
AUTOEXEC.PWD, as you may end up with multiple password executions if you do.
The simplest thing is to leave it alone.
: HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS PROGRAM? :
Simple, run INSTALL! It'll automatically detect the presence of an already
installed PASSWORD, and give you the opportunity to *completely* deinstall
the program. You *WILL* need to know the password, however!
