@NODE INTRO "Introduction"
@SMARTWRAP
@{b}Introdution@{ub}


NewPassword is a Password-Protection-Tool with a nice GUI for your Amiga.

@{CODE}
Features
  - easy to use
  - shell support
  - ToolType support

@ENDNODE

@NODE REQUIRE "Requirements"
@SMARTWRAP
@{b}Requirements@{ub}


NewPassword needs at least Kickstart 3.0 and it should work on every
computer with Kickstart 3.0.
@ENDNODE

@NODE INSTALL "Installation of NewPassword"
@SMARTWRAP
@{b}How to install NewPassword@{ub}


Currently there is no installer script. To install NewPassword simply copy
the whole drawer where you want.
You could copy it to your WBStartup to start it by booting.
You also could add it to your User-Startup.
For example: NewPassword Work:pw.prefs or NewPassword WB_3.0:Hallo

@ENDNODE

@NODE USAGE "Usage"
@{b}Usage@{ub}

When you start NewPassword you could see a small Window with a StringGadget
and with the text "Change me." in it. You also could see two Buttons named
"OK" and "Save". The Save Button is disabled until you've typed in the
correct Password. When you've typed in the correct Password you could press
the OKButton or the CloseGadget to quit the programm. Now you also could
change the Password and saves it. When you first start NewPassword you
have'nt a saved Passwordfile, so the default Password is "Change Me.", then
you could change your Password and saves it there where you want. If you
haven't defined the Path and the File where your Password will be saved,
the Password will be saved to the default File "Envarc:password.prefs".
To define the Path and the File look "Shell" and "ToolTypes".

 @{" Shell " link SHELL }
 @{" Tooltypes " link TTYPES }

@ENDNODE

@NODE SHELL "Shell"
@{b}Shell@{ub}

NewPassword has a standart AmigaOS template with just one entry.
It looks like this:

 PASSWORDFILE:
 
@{u}PASSWORTFILE@{uu}
This defines the Path and File where your Password will be saved.
For example: NewPassword Work:pw.prefs or NewPassword WB_3.0:Hallo

@ENDNODE

@NODE TTYPES "ToolTypes"
@{b}Tool Types@{ub}

Currently there is only one ToolType.

@{u}PASSWORDFILE@{uu}

Here you can specify the Path and the File where your Password will be
saved.
To change the ToolType select the Icon of NewPassword and select in the
WorkbenchMenue Icons->Information. Then you could cahnge the entry.
For example: PASSWORDFILE=Work:pw.prefs or PASSWORDFILE=WB_3.0:Hallo
The default entry is "Envarc:password.prefs".

@ENDNODE

@NODE FUTURE "Future"
@PREV USAGE
@SMARTWRAP
@{b}Future@{ub}


I plan to add following features:
@{CODE}
  - something that you haven't type in the Password after a WarmStart
    (This means that you just have to type in your Password once, if
    you don't turn off your Computer)
  - any other suggentions if I think they are good
  - a better guide for example in other languages

@{SMARTWRAP}
The first point have the highest priority (and of course
your suggestions).

@ENDNODE

@NODE AL "How can you reach me ?"
@{b}Author@{ub}


@SMARTWRAP
This is the first release of NewPassword,so it's possible that there are
some bugs! If you find some or have suggestions to improve NewPassword
you should contact me.

I would be very pleased, if you could send me a really good Icon for
NewPassword 'cause my one is very ugly but I'm not Leonardo da Vinci, so
you must excuse that.

@{BODY}
Sorry, but I haven't got a modem yet but you could contact a friend of me
(His name is Sebastian Bauer, maybe you know him or one of his programms,
so a special thank to him for uploading this programm and helping me to
learn "C" and "C++". I think that is worth to make a bit plugging for him.)
via E-Mail: sebauer@t-online.de


You also could visit his homepage in the WWW. It is currently in german
only and not very well designed but I think he'll improve it sometime.
But on this homepage you will find the latest version of Sebastian Bauer's
great search-tool SimpleFind and also other projects for the best home-
computer of the world.
