Execution

Start the application from Program Manager, or drop in StartUp Group.

Using

The application is an 'on-top' floating window that remembers where you position it by saving its X,Y coordinates in WIN.INI.  It also saves the state of the chime.

To move the C-Lock, drag the 'time' bar and drop in the new position.  To activate the menu, right click over the 'date' bar.

There are three ways of running the screen saver.  Either:  (1) Select Lock from the menu; (2) Press Ctrl-L from any Windows application; (3) Left Double click the 'date' bar.  Note that the program activates the screen saver that you have set up in Control Panel.

To access the menu with the keyboard, select C-Lock using Alt-Tab, and then press Ctrl-M.

If you are running Windows for Workgroups, use LogOn and LogOff to quickly set your network status.

Registration

The trial version of C-Lock does not give the LogOff function, but in other ways is fully functional.  Under shareware laws, you are allowed to use the trial version for a period of no more than 30 days.  After this, if you find the program useful, you MUST register it with the author.  If you continue to use the application, you will be breaking copyright laws, and open to prosecution.

Register through CompuServe by typing GO SWREG and using registration ID 2144.  The fully functional application will be mailed to you, and you will automatically be billed for the sum of $10.

Site registration is available at the author's discretion.
