1. WHAT IS 007 FOR WIN32?
-------------------------
007 for Win32 is an innovative software which allows you to
password protect existing Win32 executables. You can effectively
lock your most sensitive programs and utilities (like tax
preparation or financial planning software) from unauthorized
access. Only the person who knows protection password can run the
program.
007 for Win32 is safe and efficient. Unlike other "protection"
software, it does not run in the background to provide its
functionality. With the other software, which claims to be
"password protecting", an intruder can simply kill the protection
program or remove it from startup group to disable entire mechanism.
007 for Win32 protects program itself, not its icon. The program
will remain locked even if you run it from plain command line.
Passwords can be set, changed, and removed separately for each
program. 007 for Win32 modifies existing .EXE file, so that the
program, if invoked, first asks the user for a password and would
not start unless the correct password is entered.
007 for Win32 runs on both Windows'95 and Windows/NT. It operates
regardless of installed file system type (NTFS, FAT-32, FAT,
etc.). The software doesn't modify Windows Registry or any other
part of the operating system. Neither does it create any hidden
files or disk sectors - it only modifies the executable itself,
saving the original file under a different name for your safety.
2. HOW TO INSTALL AND RUN THE SOFTWARE?
---------------------------------------
The original 007 for Win32 distribution consists of the following
files:
SETUP.EXE - 007 for Win32 Installation Program
ORDER.TXT - 007 for Win32 Order Form

WHATSNEW.TXT - Release notes
FILE_ID.DIZ - Short description for BBS users
VENDINFO.DIZ - Product description for vendors
To install the software, you must be running Windows'95 or
Windows/NT and have about 300KB of free disk space. To start the
installation please run SETUP.EXE. It will ask you for destination
drive and directory, and then will transfer necessary files to
your hard drive and create program shortcut or Program Manager
group complete with icons. To run the software just double click
on "007 for Win32" icon.
