We've been looking for ways to "secure" our CD-ROM workstations
from unintended use by patrons. When I asked the technical support
staff at UMI for suggestions about how to do this, they recommended
a menu system software package called Direct Access. We currently
have it on order. Among the software package's features are password
protection to "keep unwanted eyes out of an menu or sub-menu ... and
safeguard your applications, menu configurations, or your files," and
virus protection. It's available in a DOS version, a network version,
and I think a Windows version as well. If you're interested in the
package, contact Fifth Generation Systems, Inc. (10049 N. Reiger Rd.,
Baton Rouge, LA 70809 / 1-800-873-4384).
Hope this helps.
