What is DiskLocker™ ?
DiskLocker™ is a security utility. It allows you to lock and unlock a volume(floppy disks, SysQuest cartdriges,...) easily. When a disk is locked, it can not be changed, no files can be modified or thrown away, but you can ever read from the disk. You can attach a password with each disk you lock. Of course, this password will be necessary to unlock the disk.
System Requirements
DiskLoker™ works only on Macintosh running system software version 7.0 or later.
Description
Choose a disk in the list. If you want, enter a password in the edit box, and press the Lock button (or Unlock if the disk was previously locked). If there is a password attached to a locked disk, you must enter it in the edit box before to be allowed to unlock the disk.
When a disk is locked by DiskLocker™, an unfilled lock symbol appear near the disk name in the list. If the disk is physically locked, the symbol is filled (if the disk is locked by DiskLocker™ and physically locked, the symbol is filled...).
If a disk is physically locked, DiskLocker™ can neither lock or unlock the disk.
Because some programs, such as the Finder™, display the lock status of disks, DiskLocker™ forces all windows to be redrawn whenever you lock or unlock a disk.
Additional Information
Don't forget your password !
Don't install DiskLocker™ on an unlocked disk. Someone may lock your disk !
When you register for DiskLocker™, you receive a registration number. You can use it as a password if you have forgotten it. If you forget your registration number, I can send it to you as quickly as possible
Contacting the author
Don't hesitate to contact me ! Please send me bugs reports, suggestions about DiskLocker™ (and, if possible, $10 !!!). I would like to discuss the possibility of collaborating on future programming projects. If you give me your address, I will send you all my other programs and future versions of DiskLocker™. Please enclose a floppy disk if you have no access to Internet.
