SENTRY (S)ecurity (Entry)   Additional Notes  
---------------------------------------------

HOTKEY.COM

     The latest version of SENTRY V1.02 can now be activated by executing
     HOTKEY.COM, this emulates the hot key sequence and permits users to
     lock the machine at the end of a batch file automatically.

     Example  BACKUP.BAT
 
              COPY *.TXT A: /V
              COPY *.BAK A: /V
              HOTKEY.COM


     The batch file above would copy all .TXT and .BAK files to the
     A: Floppy disk drive and then lock the machine.


ASKPASS.EXE
 
     ASKPASS.EXE enables the user to change the SENTRY password everytime
     the computer is re-booted, by adding it to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you
     will be prompted for a new password that will be valid until the 
     computer is turned off or re-booted.

     Example  AUTOEXEC.BAT
 
              PATH = C:\DOS
              CD\SENTRY
              SENTRY.EXE
              ASKPASS.EXE
              CD\


     Of course if you wish to lock the computer as soon as it is turned on,
     add HOTKEY.COM to the AUTOEXEC.BAT, then the machine will be disabled
     automatically, the FIXPASS.EXE can be used to "burn-in" a permanent
     password.

     Example  AUTOEXEC.BAT
 
              PATH = C:\DOS
              CD\SENTRY
              SENTRY.EXE
              HOTKEY.COM
              CD\



WINDOWS   

     Using Sentry under Microsoft Windows, (Version 3.X) 

     SENTRY.EXE is a TSR and as such use's the keyboard interrupt to perform
     some functions. Windows disables TSR's when it is loaded, and 
     therefore if SENTRY is resident before Windows is executed, it will not
     function. However Windows now has support for TSR's and SENTRY can be 
     run as any other application, by loading the program and and using the 
     HOTKEY sequence, this will lock the computer and disable the Alt-Ctrl-Del 
     function. It is not necessary to use the Ctrl-C sequence to get back to
     Windows, the Ctrl-Esc program switching facility can be used, enabling
     the user to return to SENTRY in the normal way.
