Enclosed is a shareware version of LAN Watch (tm), a name and password security system that can be used on Individual PCs0 or network systems.

LAN Watch is also a complete job accounting system. You are free to distribute copies of this disk to club members and associates so long as you do not modify any of the programs or text files on the disk. You may not sell or otherwise profit from the distribution of this disk without the prior written approval of Zaron Software. ----------------------------------------------------------- LAN Watch (tm) Installation --------------------------- To install the LAN Watch system insert the LAN Watch disk in Drive A: and then type the following line at the DOS prompt. A:INSTALL A,C Be sure not to include any colons on the right side of the install line. If your hard disk is in a drive other than C simply replace the C with the correct identifier. Likewise, if the LAN Watch disk is inserted into a drive other than A, replace the A on the right and left side of the command line with the correct identifier. The installation process creates a subdirectory named \ZZLOG on your hard disk and also copies the Logon program to the root directory. After the install process has copied the Logon and Password programs to your hard disk it will pause and ask if the Setup and Report programs are to be installed. If you are installing LAN Watch on a file server or stand alone PC press the Enter key. If you are installing LAN Watch on a network station you should press Ctrl C to terminate the install process. There are two predefined users in the LAN Watch system when shipped. User name 'ED' has a password of 'ZARON' and user name 'PAT' has a password of 'BIRD'. Use either one of these name/password combinations the first time you log into the LAN Watch System. After you enter your own names and passwords with the Setup program you may delete 'ED' and 'PAT' from the list of valid users. On a network it is not necessary to install the LAN Watch system on each station. LAN Watch may be installed on the network server and each station can run Logon from the server. For example, if the network server's hard drive is identified on the network as E:, individual stations can log on with following command lines (assumes station 3 is logging on). >E: >LOGON /Station=3/Name=Ed's Computer/Drive=E: * Important notes * Always set the correct date & time before running LAN Watch! When running Logon on network workstations the /Station= command line parameter must be used. For example, enter the following line to run Logon on network station 1. LOGON /STATION=1 Each network station must use a different station number when running Logon.

Zaron Software, Inc. and program author shall have no liability or responsibility to purchaser or to any other person or entity with respect to any liability, loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused by this software, including but not limited to any interruption of service, loss of business or anticipatory profits or consequential damages resulting from the use or operation of this software. ------------------------------------------------------------ An Important Note about using LAN Watch LAN Watch controls who is able to read or write disk files. The first time any particular file is read or written after it is opened, LAN Watch checks if the current user has the required access rights. If the user does not have the required access rights the LAN Watch program returns to the calling program an error code of 5 which is the standard DOS error code to indicate that access is denied. The LAN Watch program does not notify the user directly but relies on the application program to interpret the error code and notify the user. While most well written application programs interpret the error code and notify the user that access is denied, there are a few that will not report the error or report it as only an unspecified I/O error. For instance, when doing a DOS 'RENAME' command, which requires write access in LAN Watch, DOS will not report if access is denied. LAN Watch does not check the user's access rights when an application program opens a file, only when it is read or written. This is because our experience has shown us that many programs open a file with read and write access even though the program only wants to read the file. ------------------------------------------------------------ Printed Documentation For LAN Watch ----------------------------------- If you would like a printed copy of the LAN Watch documentation you can print out file LANWATCH.DOC with the DOS Copy command. File LANWATCH.DOC is formatted at 66 lines per page. File LANWATCH.DOC is 21 pages long. To print file LANWATCH.DOC follow these steps. 1. Press Esc to exit Readme and return to DOS. 2. Locate your printer at the top of a new page. 3. Type the following line at the DOS prompt. >COPY LANWATCH.DOC,PRN If you would like to view the file LANWATCH.DOC right now, press the gray + key 30(lanwatch.DOC)HERE0 (this is an example of a hypertext link). While in file LANWATCH.DOC you can press the gray - key to return here. ------------------------------------------------------------ Using LAN Watch as a Job Accounting System The LAN Watch system can be used for job accounting by adding a semicolon and job name to the user name when logging on to the system. For example, if ED logs on as ED;JOB 1, his time will be accounted for under the job name JOB 1. The total length of the job name should not exceed 17 characters. Once job names have been used you can run the Job report. The Job report gives a complete list of the total time spent on each job, and the portion of the total spent by each user. The user can switch from one job to another at any time by pressing the logon hot key. ------------------------------------------------------------ Purging Station Logs The Logon program collects detailed information about the operation of your computer and writes it to file \ZZLOG\STATION.NN where NN is the station number that is being monitored. For example, the station log for station 3 is written to file \ZZLOG\STATION.03. Over time these station logs may expand to consume excessive disk space. To purge a station log simply delete it with the DOS erase command. For example, to delete the station log for station 3 type the following line at the DOS prompt. ERASE \ZZLOG\STATION.03 Station logs may be erased at anytime without affecting the operation of the LAN Watch system. When a station log is erased, a new one will be automatically started by the LAN Watch system. We suggest that at the end of each month, after printing all your monthly reports with the Report program, that you erase the station logs to conserve disk space. If disk space is not a consideration you may let the station logs accumulate for up to 600 days, at which time they should be erased. ------------------------------------------------------------ LAN Watch Version History 11/16/90 Version 1.00 This is the initial release of LAN Watch. 1/11/91 Version 1.01 1. Corrects a minor error in the day summary when doing a User report. Prior version occasionally inserted an extra date at the beginning of the day summary for an individual user. 2. Change INSTALL.BAT to copy README.DOC to hard disk during installation. 3. Enhancement to show the elapsed time in the pop up logon window. The elapsed time is the hours, minutes and seconds since the last logon or job change. The elapsed time is set to zero anytime a user enters anything other than an Enter key at the 'Name:' prompt in the logon window. If your want to see how much time you have spent on the current job simply press the logon hot key (set to a default value of Alt-Ctrl L). To re-logon without resetting the elapsed time, press the Enter key at the 'Name:' prompt and then enter your password. 4. Fix error with Ctrl C interrupt vector. 1/15/91 Version 1.02 1.
