Short: McCloud: simple and quick command to *hide* a floppy disk!

It will likely be useful in case you don't want unskilled people to jam with your disks. McCloud won't provide you any data encryption, it just modifies the specified disk's bootblock to render it invisible to your computer. The reason why I decided only to modify the bootblock is principally the security: should the disk present any read/write error, you'll get your datas back with a common program like DiskSalv, QBTools and so on, while a full encryption might be more unhandy. Anyway McCloud's aim is just to protect a bit your disks, not to grant full security. If you insert in any drive a disk protected by McCloud, no icon will appear, and, if asked via CLI/Shell, the Amiga will confirm the absence of any disk in your drive! Magical, isn't it? :) /***/ Changes from v1.1 : * new arguments template * added password support * fixed bug whith bootable floppy disks ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 3664 2333 36.3% 06-Jan-97 19:30:16 +McCloud 3097 1460 52.8% 06-Jan-97 19:28:26 +McCloud_eng.doc 3825 654 82.9% 06-Jan-97 22:09:10 +McCloud_eng.doc.info 3388 1608 52.5% 06-Jan-97 19:33:02 +McCloud_ita.doc 3825 653 82.9% 06-Jan-97 22:09:10 +McCloud_ita.doc.info 1238 594 52.0% 06-Jan-97 22:09:54 McCloud1.2.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 19037 7302 61.6% 07-Jan-97 10:30:56 6 files
