WorkStation Lock, Version 2.5, 1998

WorkStation Lock provides a simple and inexpensive, but 
effective way to password protect your system at startup 
or quickly from a desktop shortcut without involving a 
screen saver.  It is easy to configure and requires no 
modifications to your current system configuration.  
Administrator functions are enabled for site licenses.


INSTALLATION

To Install WorkStation Lock:

If you used the release that includes the InstallShield
 installation program then you have already installed the 
product correctly.  If not then you must install WorkStation 
Lock manually.  Simply copy the files wrklock.exe, 
wrklock.hlp, lockctrl.exe, scrblnk.exe, and wrkset.exe to 
the Windows directory (usually c:\windows, etc.).  At a minimum, 
wrklock.exe and scrblnk.exe must be in the Windows directory. 
This is necessary for the proper operation of WorkStation Lock.

If you would like a release with the installation program, 
visit our web page at http://posum.com.

To Configure WorkStation Lock: 

To configure WorkStation Lock, use the setup program, 
wrkset.exe , to define your password and the 
administrator password if you have registered a site 
license.  If you wish to configure WorkStation Lock 
to execute as soon as windows starts, follow the steps 
in the security section.  You can also define a shortcut 
on your desktop to execute wrklock.exe so you may 
quickly lock your desktop without having to shut anything 
down.  You can also use the command line options to activate 
wrklock.exe after a specified period of system inactivity 
or from the system tray.  Once these steps are complete, 
reboot and you are ready.

To Remove WorkStation Lock:

If for some reason you wish to remove WorkStation Lock from 
your system just reverse the steps you took to install it.  
First make sure wrklock.exe is not running.  Then remove 
the files you copied to the Windows directory or from the 
installation directory specified during your installation 
process.  Finally, undo the method you used to get 
wrklock.exe to execute on Windows startup.  This must be 
done manually to prevent any security holes.

System Requirements:  Windows 95 or NT.

LEGAL STUFF:

DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before 
buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, 
you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on 
details -- some request registration while others require it, 
some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get 
anything from the simple right to continue using the software 
to an updated program with printed manual.

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, 
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific 
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished 
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs 
are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good 
programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method 
of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to 
copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or 
to a specific group. For example, some authors require written 
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their 
Shareware.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. 
You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, 
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system 
makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before 
you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. 
Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you 
don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT

Users of WorkStation Lock must accept this disclaimer of warranty: 
"WorkStation Lock is supplied as is.  The author disclaims all 
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, 
the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. 
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or 
consequential, which may result from the use of WorkStation Lock." 

WorkStation Lock is a "shareware program" and is provided at 
no charge to the user for evaluation.  Feel free to share it 
with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as 
part of another system.  The essence of "user-supported" 
software is to provide personal computer users with quality 
software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for 
programmers to continue to develop new products.  If you find 
this program useful, you must make a registration payment 
of $5 to Posum LLC.  The $5 registration fee will license one 
copy for use on any one computer at any one time.  You must 
treat this software just like a book.  An example is that 
this software may be used by any number of people and may be 
freely moved from one computer location to another, so long 
as there is no possibility of it being used at one location 
while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be 
read by two different persons at the same time.

Commercial users of WorkStation Lock must register and pay 
for their copies of WorkStation Lock as a site-license.  
Registration for sites will be handled on a case by case 
basis.

Anyone distributing WorkStation Lock for any kind of 
remuneration must first contact Posum LLC at the address 
given for authorization.

You are encouraged to pass a copy of WorkStation Lock 
along to your friends for evaluation.  Please encourage 
them to register their copy if they find that they can use 
it.  All registered users will receive a registration number 
to fully enable the latest version of the WorkStation Lock 
software.

This software may be freely distributed as long as the 
following files are all kept together and unmodified and 
no remuneration is received by the person or persons 
distributing said software.
