Part 1: Overview                                     **SECURITY for Windows
===========================================================================

SECURITY for Windows by Miller-Ware is a security system to be used with
Microsoft Windows 3.0 and later.  With SECURITY installed on your hard
drive, you will protect your Windows data and programs from unauthorized
trampering, viewing, etc. SECURITY for Windows will help you to maintain
your privacy and protect your important data.

Ease of use, flexability, and the features you expect without
sacrificing any of the power or graphics you expect in your software.
This makes SECURITY for Windows by Miller-Ware a step ahead of all
the rest.



Part 2: Distribution Versions                        **SECURITY for Windows
===========================================================================
SECURITY for Windows by Miller-Ware is distributed in two versions:
first as licensed "User Supported Software" (SHAREWARE), and second
as a licensed, REGISTERED program.  Upon registration, you will receive
a fully functional copy of the latest version of the program.
Registered users also receive user support, notice of significant
upgrades and reduced fee upgrade registration fees.  We believe most
people who use SECURITY will find it useful, and will register their
programs.   This is the foundation of the Shareware concept and what
makes personal computing so exciting.




Part 3: What is SECURITY for Windows?                **SECURITY for Windows
===========================================================================

SECURITY for Windows is a security system for your windows system
which prevents access to windows without the correct password.
The way SECURITY works is you edit your WIN.INI file so SECURITY
automatically loads when windows is invoked.  What happens is
SECURITY takes over the system and will not allow the user to access
Windows without the proper password.  That is all there is to it.
Authorized users have complete control over passwords for they may
be changed at any time.  If SECURITY is invoked and no response is
received to the request for password verification within 5 minutes,
a screen blanker will take control.  To make another attempt at
entering your password, just press any keyboard key or any mouse key.
SECURITY may also be used during any Windows session.  Merely click on
the Icon and Windows is activated. The system will stop where it is until
the proper password is entered.

All Registered users are provided with a special Serial Number which
enables them to access the "Back Door" Password.  The Serial Number allows
the user to override the system with a the "Back Door" password at anytime.
If you loose your Serial Number, Miller-Ware Development will maintain a
master list.  All you need to do is contact Miller-Ware Development and we
will assist you. That's real protection. Please see Part 6 "HELP! - I
Forgot my Password" for more information about obtaining Serial Numbers.



Part 4: System Requirements                          **SECURITY for Windows
===========================================================================

The following are the system requirements for installing and running
SECURITY for windows. The requirements for Microsoft Windows are
sufficient for the addition of SECURITY for Windows to your system.
If you are currently running Microsoft Windows 3.0 or later,  there should
be no problem.  Yet, please keep in mind.  The nice thing about standards
is there are so many to choose from.  Not all "compatible" systems are
fully compatible.  If you have a problem, please contact us.


Minimum System requirements:
           IBM PC/XT/AT, PS/2 or 100% compatible
           512K DOS memory + (2M or more recommended)
           Hard Drive
           DOS version 2.1 or higher
           Microsoft Windows 3.0 or higher
           Logitech or Microsoft compatible mouse (optional)




Part 5: Installation/Set-Up                          **SECURITY for Windows
===========================================================================

Installation of SECURITY for Windows is simple. The major prerequisite
is you have already successfully installed Microsoft Windows 3.0 or later.
After you have completed that, follow the following 4 simple steps.


    STEP 1:
        Copy the files provided to your Windows directory or
        create a new directory.

    STEP 2:
        Use the Program Manager provided with Windows to add
        SECURITY as an application as you would any program.

    STEP 3:
        Edit the file WIN.INI which should be found in your Windows
        directory.  Change the run line to display the location of
        SECURITY for Windows.

    Example:
        If you have the SECURITY in your windows directory which
        is "C:\WINDOWS" you should change the run file to read as
        follows:

                run=C:\WINDOWS\SECURITY.EXE

    STEP 4:
        Exit windows and then reinvoke windows. SECURITY will
        create a default password for you.  The password is
        "MILLERWARE". It is recommended you change this password
        to your own at this time. To do this, press the "Change"
        button and follow the prompts.  That's all there is to it,
        except remember your password.



Part 6: HELP! - I Forgot my Password!                **SECURITY for Windows
===========================================================================

Well, what do you do now, you forgot your password, misplaced
your "Back Door" and there is no way you can remember your daily password.
What do you do now? Simple, call Miller-Ware Development at [phone]
and we will help.  Make sure you have your Registration Number and private
