Provided with this package is an install program which sets up "enLOCK" to function upon reset of your Amiga. Anyway back to installing. You HAVE to use the install program as it generates important config files and installs them for you. There is no other way to install "enLOCK" fully!! The installer will adjust your startup-sequence, copy `enLOCK.exe' into `SYS:Utilities/' along with it's icon, install `AMOS.Library' V2.00 if required, adjust some files on your HD for the protection & allow you to pick the device to which all "enLOCK" data files will be saved to. The installer has been tested on my system and works perfect. Please note that it is not really clever to bother installing "enLOCK" to a floppy disk!! _________________ ___________) (_______, |  ::::::: :: :: :::: :: :: ::: :: :: :::::::  CONTROLLING ACCESS ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Once "enLOCK" is on your HD and setup you'll need to configure it for the users. This is done from directly inside of "enLOCK". When you are prompted for a user name enter `enlock' and for the password enter `password'. You will be presented with a configuration page with a list of options. You may select an option using the up & down cursor keys and space/return to select the option. The options are: Add New User Kill User Remove enLOCK From HD Setup enLOCK Access Exit Setup Add New User - create a new user by entering their name and a password. The same password must be entered twice for verifictaion that it's correct as the password is shown in `X's not letters for security. You are NOT limited by the amount of users possible by the program. All you need is a big storage space for all the user stats. This enables you to (if you want) stick a whole school of users on! This is one feature that I've not seen on any other protection program in the PD/Shareware to date. If at a later date you wish to change your password you simply enter your name and password as a new user and the old data will be overwritten. Kill User - If a mistake has happened or a user has been banned then you simply enter their name and password to delete their stats file which will prevent them from logging on in the future. Remove enLOCK From HD - If you don't like the enLOCK protection program you can remove it and restore your system to its original state as if nothing had ever been there!. Setup enLOCK Access - This simply allows you to change the password which you use to access the setup screen in the future. Remember how to access the setup screen? type `enlock' as the user name and then the password (which is `password' as default) which has been set using this option. Exit Setup - takes you back to the log in screen were you can now use any newly added users & passwords etc. instantly! _________________ ___________) (_______, |  ::::::: :: :: :::: :: ::: :: :: :: :::::::  EXTRA INFO ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ "enLOCK" works by removing some files which are neccessary for Workbench to load and function as normal. These files are stored internally inside of "enLOCK". When you log on with a valid user name and password "enLOCK" then makes the files available in the Amigas memory so you & other programs can use them but not actually touch them. This is done in a clever sort of way so it will actuall prevent people from running Workbench even if they figure out how to bypass the "enLOCK" program! As an extra protection if any files are found to have been replaced they will be deleted as soon as "enLOCK" is run again. At the moment the protection is fairly basic although effective. I'm currently researching into other things I can tag on to make the protection even better. Sadly I'm not going to tell you too much or else this program will be pointless because hackers will know where to head for when trying to get round the log in. The whole program was written in AMOS Professional V2.00 and that also includes the installer program. Why didn't I use the standard Commodore installer? Because it's not very easy to fiddle with the startup-sequence using the script language, that's why. To help conserve space on your HD both "enLOCK" and the installer share a library which is also used by alot of my newer utilities. It's the "AMOS.Library" v2.00 which takes up approx 47kb. For some reason however, the programs will not crunch with Powerpacker, well they do but then they crash when run! I'm not sure why but probably just an AMOS 'thing'. _________________ ___________) (_______, |  ::::::: :: :::: :: :::: :: :: ::: ::: :::::::  SHAREWARE INFORMATION ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ As I pointed out in the opening note this program is infact Shareware. You should know what this is - you can use this program for a while to see if you like it. If you do like it then I order you to pay a nice fee to me. Don't worry it isn't going to cost a bomb! Here's the news ... the shareware fee is only £5.50 !! Now you can't say that's bad, can you? The UN-REGISTERED version (which can be freely distributed) will work 100 times. Every time you log-on the counter in the top-right will decrease. When it reaches zero "enLOCK" will be removed from your HD and it will dissapear! Sorry but I don't want to give a full working version of my program away as I know what you lot are like! You'll never pay my small Shareware fee!!!!! So that's it - send a cheque for £5 payable to M.Carter or maybe stick a £5 note wrapped in a piece of paper (or bog roll) in an envelope and post it to this attractive address:- ßudda/NFA "Bradda" Crowborough Road Georgeham North Devon EX33 1JZ The REGISTERED version will have the log-on counter removed and it will be registered in YOUR name so if you copy it I'll know who the bugger is!!!! Oh, and this is a plea - if the version you are using is registered to a person (whos name appears on the "enLOCK" set-up screen) please write to me and tell me the name of the little f*cker. Then I'll be able to get him sorted out! I'll make sure ALL registered users are informed of any major break-thrus with "enLOCK" aswell as info about other new utils/games by me. Registering makes me think about improvments to the program. Although I may do the improvments soon I will not be releasing the update like this and instead make it only available to friends and registered users. So far my imagination has come up with the following improvments:- * Remove more important files from your HD to make the protection much better! * Check for any memory resident viruses when logging on. * Disable HD partitions not available to certain users (not sure how to do this yet!! but it would be excellent) When sending your £5 shareware fee please feel free to add comments (good or bad) about the program and maybe any little buggers you found. Everything will be read as I'll have nothing better to do until I start college in September '95. _________________ ___________) (_______, |  ::::::: :: :: :: :::: ::: :: :: :: :::::::  NFA GUBBINS ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Okay NFA are still a sniffin' for good gfx artists and musicans aswell as totty coders in any language (even AMOS and Blitz if you can get good things from them!).

If you use Disk Expander or the simular program in the PD then you could have trouble! You see When "enLOCK" is started it's before anything else has been installed, this means the compressor will not be in action and so the stats files will be duff. I've tried to think of a way around this but at present can't come up with a kewl idea. I've tried to make an intelligent startup en-planter that looks to see where (if it is) that Disk Expander installed itself in the startup-sequence. But this is a crap idea so I've dumped it. So to fix this problem try installing the `enlock_users' drawer onto a partition that doesn't get touched by Disk Expander etc., and thus wont mess up the stats files! Well this is what I do at the moment anyway. Alternatively if you know what you are doing you could organise your startup-sequence by hand in a text editor so that Disk Expander is run first then "enLOCK" straight after! Yes that sounds good! Other bugs are not known at present, but are there any? Am I too good?
