Short: Password Protect Executables on your HD! Author: electrus_sw@geocities.com (David Hodge) Uploader: electrus_sw@geocities.com (David Hodge) Type: util/wb Requirements : WB 3.0+ Reqtools Library (not included!) WBStart.Library (included!) [What is it?] ============= PES (Program Encryption System) is a package which allows you to password protect any executable on your HardDrive in order to prevent un-authorised use of that program. The package consists of two main elements - An Encryptor and a Decryptor. The Encryptor is the program that you use to actually protect an executable with a password, a sort of installer :-). It encrypts the executable and saves the data to a file. The Decryptor is the program that takes the place of the original executable, and when run reads the data files which the Encryptor created and prompts for the password, if the password is correct then the encrypted data file is DECRYPTED and executed, if the password is wrong then nothing happens! NO EXECUTABLE FILES ARE CHANGED ON INSTALLATION, ONCE THE ENCRYPTOR HAS PROTECTED THE EXECUTABLE ITS UP TO YOU TO COPY THE ORIGINAL EXECUTABLE TO DISK AND DELETE IT FROM THE DRIVE!. [Registration] ============== This package is totally FREEWARE but the Encryptor has a 20 second time delay when it loads. To remove this time delay you must REGISTER. However Registration is totally *FREE*, just e-mail us at : electrus_sw@geocities.com telling us what name you want the program to be registered in and whether you want the keyfile to be sent to you via e-mail MIME ENCODED OR UUENCODED. You will then be sent a keyfile to your e-mail address, which when placed in the PES_v1.00 directory, will remove the time delay!. You can also register via our web site by filling in the form (follow the "Register" link from the top frame). [Documentation] =============== FULL Documentation is included in the Archive - READ IT! :-) [Other Stuff!] ============== The majority of our programs can be found on Aminet but you can find the LATEST versions/information on our web page which you can access at: http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/way/9797 David Hodge (7th December 1997) - MERRY CHRISTMAS! ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 84160 39941 52.5% 07-Dec-97 00:20:04 +PES_Encryptor 394 272 30.9% 10-Nov-97 21:32:30 +Decryptor.info 1050 420 60.0% 06-Dec-97 20:00:18 +Encryptor4Col.info 1658 942 43.1% 06-Dec-97 19:00:18 +PES_Encryptor.info 71260 36842 48.2% 29-Nov-97 21:11:04 +Decryptor 383 256 33.1% 04-Nov-97 19:34:52 +Decryptor.info 1050 420 60.0% 07-Dec-97 00:04:58 +PES_Encryptor.info 13745 4272 68.9% 07-Dec-97 16:06:28 +PES.Guide 468 243 48.0% 16-Nov-97 21:51:02 +PES.Guide.info 628 269 57.1% 07-Dec-97 00:04:58 +Bin.info 628 274 56.3% 16-Nov-97 22:01:08 +Docs.info 2664 1588 40.3% 16-Nov-97 18:41:00 +dospath.library 4032 2461 38.9% 16-Nov-97 18:40:54 +wbstart.library 628 271 56.8% 16-Nov-97 22:01:08 +PES_v1.00.info 2252 727 67.7% 07-Dec-97 00:34:46 +Install-PES 677 336 50.3% 01-Dec-97 00:38:50 +Install-PES.info 628 273 56.5% 16-Nov-97 22:01:08 +Icons.info 628 274 56.3% 16-Nov-97 22:01:08 +Libs.info 628 266 57.6% 01-Dec-97 00:38:20 +PES_v1.00 3899 1808 53.6% 07-Dec-97 16:03:28 +ReadMe-First! 468 245 47.6% 01-Dec-97 00:38:50 +ReadMe-First!.info 628 269 57.1% 01-Dec-97 00:38:50 PES-Install.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 192556 92669 51.8% 08-Dec-97 19:03:36 22 files
