Introduction


   This program is UNREGISTERED. It may be distributed as long as all the
files remain in the same way as you found them, and none are deleted or
altered. To register it, see the 'How to Register' section.

     AFTER USING THIS PROGRAM FOR 30 DAYS, YOU MUST EITHER REGISTER IT
             OR DELETE ALL COPIES OF IT WHICH BELONG TO YOU

   Super Booter 7.25 is a multi-tasking (works in the desktop) password
program. When you try to access your disc, Super Booter 7.25 will auto-
maticly load and bring upa window. This particular version has 3 seperate
partitions, and MASSES of options!

   Warning: After testing this on my RISC PC 700, I have found out that it
does not work entirely correctly, sometimes quitting some other Alpha
Programming programs. I don't know what the problem is, or whether it is my
fault, but I am trying to rectify this A.S.A.P. I think it's to do with
WimpExt. I'm /trying/ to get a new copy of it.

About This Program

   When you first use this program, there are no default passwords. You
should now press menu over the icon on the icon bar, and select (press the first mouse button) on the text 'Options'. A window will appear on the screen.
From then, you should configure (change) the passwords to your own liking.
From then, click on the text 'Save Options'. Your options will then be saved
(to disc). If you forget your password, send the disc back to me and I will
tell you them. Don't bother trying to click on 'Master' in either the main
password screen or the options screen, as that's for my use only!.

New for this Program (From 7.25d)


                      - My address change
                      - A slight bug in the keypad 
                      - Improved music

Options


    Automaticly enter disc - If this is selected, when you enter the
                             passwords, you will, well, automaticly enter
                             your disc!

    Deprotect Super Booter - Only click this if you really hate Super Booter.
                             It stops it loading up with the password window.


    Partition Options      - This opens up a screen on which you can change
                             the passwords and/or keypad passwords. Also,
                             you can set the path which will open when the
                             correct passwords are entered.

    Partition On           - This sets this partition on and enterable.

    Music (wrong pass)     - Plays the death march when you are about to
                             be resetted

    Music (correct pass)   - Plays a happy tine when you have got the
                             passwords correct

    Partition 1 Access     - Only those with the correct passwords for
                             'Partition 1' can save the options

    Keypad On              - Enables/disables the keypad

    Correct Star Command
    Wrong Star Command     - Performs these star commands when the passwords
                             entered are correct/wrong.

Note: The commands are performed in the SYS"XOS_CLI" form. *Errors can't be
performed, neither can anything which produces text without changing the
screen mode. Do not make it execute BASIC programs or any program which will
END the program. You can load a BASIC program from the correct star command
by typing in 'Filer_Run <name>' where <name> is the program's name.

The music things set the TEMPO command. Some other tunes of other programs
may play to fast. To rectify this problem, go to BASIC and type in TEMPO 4096

History


  Booters: Only released in my C.D.T. group.

    1.00 : A simple password program with an ending "This is not your
           disc; go away!". You can even press escape to exit! Agghhh!

    2.00 : As 1.00 but with a better ending screen.

    3.00 : As 2.00 but with another ending screen.

    4.00 : Yet again another ending screen, but you can't press escape!
           Also - you could not see what's being typed!

    5.00 : A very vague introduction to fonts, when you enter the disc
           and when you fail.

  Super Booters: Main releases.

    6.00 : Not released. Uses MODE 15 with a nice sprite at the top,
           similar to this sprite.

    6.05 : First 'Super Booter' release.

  Super Booters: Protozoid Edition

    6.25 : You can change your password! (Wow!!!!)

    6.45 : Proish version. Fonts properly used. It looks good!

    6.46 : Exactly the same as 6.45 but with a better error handler, and
           better fonts.
           This is the version that Daniel Fawcett hacked to create !Padlock.
           Luckily, all known copies are deleted.

  Super Booters: Desktop Edition

    7.00 : Now works fully in wimp, nice password screen, nice info screen,
           nice options screen, nice information screen, nice 'Quick Message
           screen, nice 'New Things to this version' screen...

    7.10 : As 7.00, but now has 3 seperate partitions.

    7.25 : As 7.10  but has *Loads* more options. Bugs...
   7.25b : Beta testing...got rid of bugs. Bedford Modern School version.
   7.25c : Originally going to be the Acorn User version
   7.25d : Better music!
   7.25e : Address change, No bugs in keypad, better music (again).

Coming Soon


    7.30 : I'm hopefully getting rid of WimpExt, so it will be 50k less!
           Case sensitive/Non case sensitive option
    7.50 : New Interface. Will always be able to detect when Super Booter
           is found.
    7.60 : Multiple Music - Choose from 6 tunes for wrong and correct
           passwords.
