Short: A short password program to lock your Amiga from idle hands whilst you are away. Author: Steve@hargreavess.freeserve.co.uk (Steve Hargreaves) Uploader: Steve hargreavess freeserve co uk (Steve Hargreaves) Type: util/wb Version: 1.0 Requires: An Amiga, MUI Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a short program to lock your Amiga whilst you are away. Quite simply, whenever you invoke it, it will open a small window on Workbench which will lock your system out until the correct password is entered. Features:- Very simple to use Uses MUI Traps input.device to turn the mouse off (completely - it removes the mouse from the system whilst it is running). Traps screen switching and hotkeys to change the active window Fully multitasks, meaning that complex operations started before Blitzpass will continue unhampered. (eg. Renedering a scene, graphical operations, playing MPegs etc.) No lengthy configuration or installation. To install & use:- Install: Copy Blitzpass wherever you want. Usage - run from a shell (or menu item/dopus button/script etc.) i.e. Blitzpass That's it. Configuration:- None really. The first time you run Blitzpass the window will open in non blocking mode with full border and gadgets. Here you should position and size the window to suit your requirements. Enter your choice of password, and, ermmm, that's it. The next time you run Blitzpass, it will block the system until the correct password is entered. The window will be borderless, and will have no gadgets attached to it. Size and position will be remembered by MUI. To reset to non-blocking state, delete the file ENVARC:bp.config. This will mean that next time you run it, it will be back to non-blocking mode. Bugs/Limitations:- Only one that I know of, but it isn't really a problem. System hotkeys will not be blocked, so if you have a hotkey assigned to open a shell, or launch an application, then it will be honoured. However, since Blitzpass will ensure that it is always the active window and that WB is frontmost then the newly launched shell/application will still be inaccessible until the password is entered.
