Console Lock 1.1
----------------

Console Lock is an MUI commodity.  (Check the note below for info on MUI.)

Console Lock works something like a screen blanker.  After a user specified
time of no keyboard or mouse activity, the keyboard and mouse are "locked".
To "unlock" the system, you have to enter a user specified password.  When
the system is locked, the only thing a potential abuser could do is reboot
or power cycle the system.  There are other PD/ShareWare solutions to
protect the system from booting, such as rigid disk block password programs
and the like.  There is also a hotkey lock ("lock now") feature, so you can
protect a machine as you get up to leave it.  It can optionally display a
picture (any type MultiView can read using DataTypes) while it is locked.
This program requires WB 2.x or better, but WB 3.x is the first version of
WorkBench that came with MultiView.  Console Lock supports ARexx.

Console Lock is shareware. To get your registered copy, send $15 US
($20 Canadian) (Money order or equivalent; no personal cheques please) to:
