What is Sesame?
================
Sesame is a small, simple but effective safety tool for your Macintosh:
• if you are afraid your children or colleagues can tamper with your Mac while you are away and move, rename or put in the trash your carefully organized documents…
• if you want to prevent snoopers from gaining access to confidential information…
• if you wish to be able to leave your desk for a while, without your running Macintosh being open to all…
…In all these cases, Sesame can help you: it will prevent unauthorized access to your computer by requesting a password whenever it is activated.
Sesame is distributed as shareware: you may try it out freely, but if you appreciate it and decide to keep it, you must register it by sending a $10 contribution fee (look up the User Manual for details after the installation). Thank you in advance!

Installing Sesame
=================
The installer program installs everything for you. The Easy Install copies the Sesame package onto your hard disk, and sets up Sesame to request a password automatically at password. To make an Easy Install:
• double-click the “Sesame Installer” program icon,
• then click Continue,
• then click Install.
If you prefer to install only some items of the Sesame package, choose Custom Install and select the elements you wish to install before clicking Install.
Do not put your old copy of Sesame in the trash before installing the new version. The Installer program will let you retrieve the Preference settings of your old copy of Sesame: your password, and your personalization information if you are a registered user.
To do so:
1. First make an “Easy Install” of Sesame, as described above.
2. Then go to the “Custom Install” panel of the Installer program,
and select the “Retrieve Sesame 1.0 Preferences” option only:
click Install to make the Custom Install.
3. After the installation, run Sesame 2.1: it will use the Preference settings of your old copy.
4. Then you can throw away your old copy of Sesame.
(Of course, if you have already thrown it away, you will still be able to set up your Preferences — version 2.1 has many new ones anyway! However, if you are a registered user, you will have to enter your name and registration code again to personalize your copy of Sesame 2.1).
