- PASSWORD.BAS
- (Version 1.1)
-
- This BASICA 2.0 program reads a password from a user-defined file called
- PASSWORD.DAT and compares it character-by character with the keyboard entry
- of the password. It starts over each time an error of any kind is made and
- kills the system by zeroing low memory after three errors are made.
-
- During the running of PASSWORD.BAS the control sequences Ctrl-Alt-Del,
- Ctrl-C, & Ctrl-Break are disabled.
-
- To control a password-controlled system, create an autoexec.bat file as
- follows on each system disk or in the root (\) directory of your hard disk:
-
-
- Prompt user enters
- ------ --------------------------
- A> copy con autoexec.bat | & press {return}
- basica password | & press {return}
- date | & press {return}
- time | & press {return}
- {F6} or {Ctrl}Z | & press {return}
-
- If you alseady have an Autoexec.bat file simply edit the file so that the
- line "basica password" is the first one in the file.
-
- Naturally, BASICA.COM, PASSWORD.DAT, and the above AUTOEXEC.BAT files must
- all be on the system disk in the root directory.
-
- A password file called PASSWORD.DAT has already been created with the
- password of 'system manager'. If you want a different password enter:
-
- Prompt user enters
- ------ --------------------------
- A> copy con password.dat | & press {return}
- {your password} | & press {return}
- {F6} or {Ctrl}Z | & press {return}
-
- If you forget your password the program allows the character "}" as an
- alternate.

- 7/10/84 - Version 1.1 now supports color (also works fine on IBM
- or equivalent high-res monochrome monitors). Have fun!
- next - maybe some good sole would like to compile the program or
- better yet translate it to assembler or Turbo Pascal.
