PASSWORD PROGGY BY MICHAEL NOYCE, SUMMER 1995 "Password" has two modes of operation. Placing it in the "AUTO" folder will ask you to enter your password (the default is "letmein") at boot up, whilst running it from the Desktop allows you to change the password, toggle echo on/off, and set the maximum number of retries before the program locks the computer. There are three buttons. "Change" will change the password if you have entered both the old password correctly and a new one. "Quit" will exit the program *without* saving any changes made. "Exit" will exit the program saving any changes made. The configuration is saved to the program file itself so do not write-protect the disk, set the file read-only mode, or pack it. It also expects the program file to be called "PASSWORD.PRG". If it cannot find "PASSWORD.PRG" in the current directory you can locate it with the file selector. The program also checks that the selected file is the correct file before saving. This is done by reading the size of the selected file's TEXT, DATA, and BSS segments from the GEM header, if one exists, and comparing it with the same information from the program's basepage. I have tested this on many programs without any problems, but be careful which file you select, Just in case, though I think the chances of two programs have exactly the same values are pretty low. There is a problem when displaying the dialog box under "MultiTOS", and probably other multi-tasking systems, which I'm trying to solve.
