G-LockV2.2 -------------- The Amiga is back in style- Hi one and all to the latest edition of G-Lock. Possibly the best Password alternative prog- Well its half way through 97, I've just finished school- and I am feeling great- so i have gave G-Lock V2.0 a few touch ups here and there- so what do you think? Anyway anyone who would like to give ideas, suggestions, hints Pics, Mods, support ,financial backing (HINT) and just to say hi- (please no letters to tell me where to put my keyboard!) Write to- Chris McChesney 42 Union St. Bonhill Alexandria Sunny Scotland G83 9AH Or if you have access to packet (not E-mail I'm only a student!) feel free to leave a message to 2M1FLH@GB7SAN.GBR.EU Either way all replies will be answered- Legal and boring Bit- --------------------- G-LockV2.2© is a copyright© to BzareSoft© And BzareSoft© belongs to me Chris McChesney© (heh its my name!) You may give G-Lock to all your friend/s as long as all files are included. The Installer may be changed to suit complimations- P.D. houses please distribute this prog freely as you choose- However if you put it on any kind of popular complimation i want to know about it (call it pride!) Oh yeah and keep the price In the P.D. range!! After all whats P.D. if it aint cheap? Oh Yeah I can accept no responsibility for peoples computers running off with Elvis, whilst signing happy Christmas naked on a moonlight night as they set each other on fire- And if you lose your password- its your own fault- see bottom of docs to see how to bypass prog! What is G-lock? ---------------- G-LockV2.2 is the second (well actually 4 th including updated versions) in my series of password alternatives. Most password progs are formal and dull creatures- i haven't seen one in which I would show to my friends- So I designed, made and done a better one- Its just as secure as the rest (well sorry some do strip your hardrive of important files, which means if the installer dont work you have to spend hours trying to fix the prob!) Well G-Lock is as secure as it gets without altering your hardrive too much- Which means if anything does go wrong (never happened!) its only a few dos commands and a click away! Oh yeah it plays music, samples and has a damm good mod in the background. It is quite simply FAB- I love you will love it- Enjoy Okay its cool, its funky; but how secure? ------------------------------------------ Lets put it this way- Unless someone is a pretty good at dos, has a version of workbench lying around, and is a bit of a whiz they dont stand a chance. If you delete it from Wbstartup- It copies it self back! If you delete every single file in the G-Lock dir- it will copy itself back in, with the same password as you left before someone tried to delete it. Infact the only real way to delete the prog for good is to use the deinstall prog provided- called nuts (because you must be nuts to use it!). Ah what about the password then- how do i change it? ----------------------------------------------------- Okay get a pen and a piece of paper- Okay good- now draw a...... Sorry- Ahem- Okay to get into the menu, run the prog (aint it great?) and when it asks for password type "menu" once you have done this you will be presented with a menu screen. (funnily enough!) They are various options available- for example credits, help screen, and change password. Pick change password one.. It will ask you do you wish to proceed, type y or yes. It will then ask you for the old password- if you just got the prog its Glock. Okay when it asks you to insert new password PLEASE REMEMBER to use only a password which is NO and NO LESS than 5 letters. The reason for this is because of a stupid Amos routine. So a password like Help would be acceptable- however ronnie for example wouldn't- If you did put ronnie in the password would be the first 5 letters thus it would be "ronni". REMEMBER SPACES COUNT AS A LETTER- SO IF YOU WANT TO USE A FOUR LETTER PASSWORD SIMPLY TYPE YOUR PASSWORD FOLLOWED BY A SPACE WHEN ENTERING IT- Its stupid I know. But I cant get around it- Guess who's moving to Blitz Basic! What happens if I forget my password? -------------------------------------- You numpty- Then i guess you are doomed to listen to my Dont do it again screen forever! Shame really. Okay just kidding- You can delete G-Lock if your armed with your workbench disk. Okay load from floppy WB. Then go into shell once it has loaded and type- assign sys: : example- assign sys: dh0: then- assign c: sys:c assign s: sys:s Once you have done this- come out of shell. Go into your workbench partition and find G-lockv2.2- It is hidden- so you will have to do a show all. Go into this drawer and execute Nuts 2.2- It will ask you some questions (like why are you nuts?) and will proceed to delete the prog- Not simple- But secure- its better this than all of your C commands missing! Cheers, all is noted, my letter is in the post- who made it anyway?|----------------------------------------------------- ------- Ah I thought you would never ask- Author -Chris McChesney Programmer -Chris McChesney Art -Chris McChesney (and some P.D. stuff) Mod -Unknown- name isn't on mod- it is P.D. though Idea -That would be all the crap ones in existence! Anyway folks thanks for your support- thanks for your help- and i will hopefully see you all in V3. what ever! See ya- Friends & thanks bit- ---------------------- Hello to all my minions, who follow me- in other words friends- Only the Amiga owning ones get here- Hi Peter, Tam, Holly, Martin, Dom,- Oh yeah welcome aboard Paul- Hopefully the next Mod will be yours! The Amiga Computer The Amiga was once the world leader. Everyone had one, or knew someone that had one. It had left the St and all other companies in the shadow. However Commodore made a few mistakes and now there's a chance that the Amiga may never recover. However this doesnt need to be the case. The Amiga is a damn good computer- If not the best- Sure software isnt exactly floading in, sure moral is bad- and perhaps the Amiga wont be able to rise again. But me personaly Im going to wait for the return- The Amiga is a survivor- and always will be- It is the only computer in the world that isnt supported by company's- but rather the respect and loyality each one of her users give her. Perhaps that is all that she needs. However, im gojng to wait the the return- Which im sure will happen- after all the Amiga has been doing for years that P.C's are only catching up on!!! If a new Amiga is to come around- perhaps it shouldnt be called the Amiga 1300 or whatever- but rather the Amiga phoenix- A legendary bird that can be killed- but always rises from the flames a fresh and strong as ever. Amiga Intel Outside! Welcome to the Revolution! P.S. Howdy to Amiga Format and C.U. Amiga- Keep the dream alive- dont let the Amiga become the 90's spectrum- And dont die out like other Amiga mags- You are all that remains from the once market leader- Stick with it- It will reward you one day- Besides P.C. owners may laugh at the decline of our machine- Theirs decline the min they buy them- As long as P.C. owners are gullible to be continually ripped off for the "Latest technology" they will keep the P.C. alive, but keep killing the machines- Its a vicious circle- and Intel and IBm have them where they want them- See ya- thanks for reading this far hearing someone else preach cant be a lot of fun- But heh thats what a democracy is all about! Cheers- Chris McChesney- g-Lockv2.2 97 In a funky new BzareStyle!
