BRIEF! DISKGUARD INSTRUCTIONS ***************************** 1. "Diskguard" should be installed on all PC's at your site. It requires Windows 3.0 or higher running in Enhanced Mode. The program can be run from a floppy disk, but it's purpose is best served by installing it on all computers at a site, where it serves as a visible reminder of company policy regarding unauthorized software. 2. "Diskguard" requires access to the Visual Basic run-time library file, "VBRUN300.DLL". This file was distributed with "Diskguard", however, if it is missing, it can be obtained from most bulletin boards, or from BC Publishing. "VBRUN300.DLL" should be installed in the "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM" directory from where it will be accessible to all programs written with Visual Basic. 3. "Diskguard" will check a hard disk for unauthorized software. It searches all directories and sub-directories of drive numbers B to Z for files with the extensions: EXE, BAT and COM. The names of all files found are compared against a list of the names of programs which are authorized for use on the particular computer. This list is defined by you, the user, and is stored in a file named "Diskgard.Txt" which must be located on a disk in Drive A: when "Diskguard" is run. The first line of "Diskgard.Txt" can optionally contain a list of drives which are to be excluded from the search. For example, if you did not wish to scan drive B: and drive G: (which may be your network server's drive letter), the first line of "Diskgard. Txt" would appear as follows: ;bG Note that the first character of the line listing excluded drives MUST BE A SEMICOLON (;). Note also that it is only necessary to represent excluded drives with a single character (i.e., no colon and backslash necessary) and that the characters can be either upper or lower case. Irrelevant characters of any sort will be ignored. Subsequent lines should contain the full path and filename of each program (with one of the abovementioned filename extensions), which is authorized for use on the particular computer. The first few lines of "DiskGard.Txt" might therefore appear as follows: ;bdhg C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT C:\DOS\APPEND.EXE C:\DOS\ASSIGN.COM and so on. (In the above example, drives B:, D:, H: and G: would not be included in the program search). 4. "Diskguard" can be modified by BC Publishing to suit the needs of individual users.
