Hello World ;-)
hello Fox, nice to hear from you again.
FreeDOS Password is a program which prevent strangers to access to your PC under DOS. All logins and attempts to login are stored in a log file, passwords are hashed using the SMDB hash. It's possible to create as many users as we like, there is a restriction only for passwords and logins length - can't exceed 25 chars each (who use so long passwords??).
I wrote that tool in hope that it will be usefull especially for FreeDOS users (that's why I called it FreeDOS Password).
Latest version supports language files (That's not CATS/Kitten, but sort of). I wrote english, polish and french files myself, I hope peoples will write files for other languages :-P (not difficult at all, just edit the PASSWORD.EN text file, sign it and send it back to me)
define 'supports' please.
Does your program work without *any* external language file, or are they *required* instead of only *optional* ?
In what file are the users/passwords stored? not in a language file I hope, as language preferences can be changed (and thus loose your users).
Layout something like this?: password.com/exe userpass.txt logfile.txt language.txt
Besides NLSPATH and current directory, can you also search %PATH% ?
the install.bat you wrote is quite dangerous, because it's valid only for MS-DOS 6.22 or later, with MS COMMAND.COM in use.
FreeDOS uses another menu system, for example, and autoexec.bat can also be changed.
One last question: do you explicitly set input to CON device?
because MS allows this: rem set input/output device to NUL instead of CON, thus disable CTRL-C SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM NUL /P
@echo off password /login mouse keyb ctty con echo Now you see output again.
Regards, Mateusz Viste "Fox"
P.S. What are the rules for an application to be listed somewhere in the "Software" section of FreeDOS.org?
Many 'free' and/or opensource software appears in the UTILITIES section. BASE usually is for programs that replace in some way the basic MS-DOS programs.
