-
- The "Kitty" Lock was written in Lattice C version 5.52. It takes
- advantage of GEM and as such will not run from the auto folder or with an
- extension of .TOS. The "Kitty" Lock will however, run as an .APP, .PRG
- or Desk Accessory. Regardless of your choice of the above methods the user
- interface remains consistant. Please ensure that the resource file is in
- the same directory as the program file.
-
- The "Kitty" Locks interface is a centered dialog box consisting of
- the program name, copyright, shareware notice, version number, an exit
- button and an editable text field for password entry and thats it! When
- run or selected as an accessory you are presented with this dialog.
-
- Being the father of three small children and owner of a rambunctious
- kitty, I truely had no choice but to write this program. The idea is very
- simple, before taking a break and leaving the computer in the middle of
- a computing session I activate The "Kitty" Lock. Now while I am away from
- my computer I don't have to worry about the kitty or kids playing with
- the keyboard, inadvertantly adding to my documents, closing folders, etc!
-
- Upon my return I hit escape to clear any stray characters "no pun
- intended" from the text field, type "KittyLck" and press return. The
- dialog disappears and I can once again resume my activities. Thats it,
- simple and elegant.
-
- So thats it, Remember, the password is "KittyLck" (Case Sensitive)
- . Now compute with the knowledge that your work is now a little safer!

- Warnings:
- =========
-
- Neither the author nor DataBasement Software can be held responsible
- for loss of data, sleep, sanity, kin, hardware, software, etc, etc due to
- the use or misuse of this program. While the author has taken every
- conceivable precaution to guard against your data's loss acts of God have
- been known to occur! Please use this software at your own risk.
-
- Note:
- =====
-
- At this time the author doesn't know if MultiTos's Form_do handler
- allows access to AES events such as windows and the menu. If this is the
- case then The "Kitty" Lock will be pretty useless on a machine using
- MultiTos as the program relies on the fact that the old Form_do call
- does not allow this, in effect no event processing will take place while
- the Form_do call is active. (When the dialog is visable.)
-
- Thank You, hope you enjoy yet another fine DataBasement product.
