FileLocker V1.0, ©TigerSoft 1997
Programmed by Thomas Graff Thøger
FileLocker can lock files so noone can access them.
This is usefull when using a network and want some files on a device
to be private, while other files are to be public.
By importing the filenames of the files to make private, and marking
them as locked, the file will be lcoked by FileLocker. This makes
the files inaccessible until they are unlocked by FileLocker again.
There is one catch, though: You can't access the files yourself either!
If you need to access a locked file you have to unlock the file manually,
then access it, and finally lock it again.
In the time the file is unlocked it will become publicly available.
It is also possible to lock directories with FileLocker. However, for
reasons of speed and memory usage only the selected directory will be
locked. The individual files in the directory will still be unlocked.
So, if somebody know the path and filename, they can still open the file.
However, it is not possible to get a directory listing of a locked
directory, so once locked other users will not be able to see the
filenames in the directory.
