Well, After seeing the article on Secure Drive version 1.0, I decided to inform the world that Lockit v 3.01 is here at last. I know this, because I finished it yesterday. It is also a hard disk locking program, except that it boots before DOS, and it has this truly wonderful way on hanging debuggers that trace the boot up sequence. After having Broken 5th Generations DiskLock (tm) I discovered several ways to encrypt executable code, (although they did not employ any such routines => consequently it was an easy program to break). Well, I'll keep ya posted. Cheers Chris. ****** Assembler for President ******
