            LOCK (1.X, 2.X, 3.X located in C:)



	NAME
            LOCK - Enables or disables the write protection of a 
        harddrive partition formatted under the Fast File System 
        (FFS).

	SYNOPSIS
		LOCK drive ON/OFF PASSWORD

	DESCRIPTION
            1.x only lets you enable or disable the write 
        protection of a FFS. 2.x/3.x it also enables or disables 
        the write protection of every kind of disk including 
        floppies. The drive is unlocked only when another LOCK 
        command is sent or reboot the computer.

	KEYWORDS

		DRIVE
            The name of the disk or partition. For 1.x, it can 
        only be a hard drive formatted with the FFS. 2.x/3.x lets 
        you LOCK floppy disks too. LOCK works a little 
        differently on floppies than other commands.  Normally, 
        when a command is set onto a floppy drive (eg. df0:) it 
        will only effect that particular disk. But, with LOCK, it 
        effects any and every disk inserted into the drive.

		ON/OFF
            This keyword lets you protect the disk (LOCK ON) or 
        write enable (LOCK OFF). The default is for the disk to 
        be write enabled.

		PASSWORD
            Under 1.2, this password had to be four characters 
        long. On Operating Systems 1.3 and above it can be of any 
        length.The password is considered to be a text string. 
        Therefor, if there are spaces in it, it must be enclosed 
        in quotes. If a a password was included in the LOCK ON 
        command, the same password keyword must be used in the 
        LOCK OFF command for the disk to be write enabled.
