Filelock is distributed as SHAREWARE: if you use Filelock you should pay the author.
You may register by sending US $10 CASH (or an equivalent sum with your local currency) to the author at the address above. A shareware registration form are available inside Filelock 1.2.
Please, please, no checks: to cash them I must pay the bank more than $15!!!!!
Special offers:
All registered users of any my other shareware program may register one copy of Filelock 1.2 at the special price of US $5.
These are some things you can send me instead of the money:
√...original software,
√...shareware software (but only if you're the author),
√...Macintosh-related magazines subscription,
√...CD-ROMs,
√...piece of new or used hardware.
√...anything you've created.
If you can't afford any of the above send me a postcard, a letter or what you think could be right.
You can get a Filelock 1.2 site licence for US $200 or a world license :-) for US $1000, by international (postal) money order.
Filelock 1.2 can also be included, without my previous permission, without changes and with this "Read Me", in all CD-ROM or disk shareware collections and in all CD-ROM or Disk magazines (anyway an e-mail or a notice will be welcome, as well as a copy of the magazine or media :-).
Filelock 1.2 may not be included in a commercial package without my permission.
• How to use.
Filelock 1.2 is a Drag & Drop application, which locks unlocked files and unlock the locked ones. After completing its job, a little window will notify the kind of operation you made.
Filelock 1.2 supports drop keys: if you drop while pressing Option key, all files dragged will be locked. If you drop while pressing Command key, all files dragged will be unlocked. Also Filelock 1.2 locks/unlocks the contents of disks & folders, (even nested folders).
CURSOR: Filelock searches in disk or folder:
Filelock locks a file:
Note: press command-period to exit during performance.
Be careful: Filelock reports any error but if you try to unlock files in a locked disk, Filelock performs its job, leaves the files untouched and do not returns errors.
According to the tests executed, Filelock 1.2 can support the dragging of many files, folders, disks. If you like to increase its capacity, you need only to increase the allocated memory.
Filelock 1.2 requires at least System 7 to run.

And don't forget to register your copy of Filelock 1.2. Remember that a shareware author should be supported.
If you don’t pay for shareware software today, you will pay much more tomorrow for exactly the same features (but enclosed in a 'nice' commercial box, with a 'friendly' copy protection and an 'attractive' serial number...).
