Abstract of INFO-MAC archived encoded Mac binary file 'cfg/shift-key-suite-106.hqx' Uploaded 08/25/2001 158625 bytes From: Marc Mennigmann Subject: Shift Key Suite v1.0.6 Iserlohn, Germany -- Aug 25, 2001 -- Marc Mennigmann today announced the release of the "Shift Key Suite" v1.0.6, a powerful collection of applications to extend the functionality of password protection systems for Macintosh computers. v1.0.6 adds compatibility for the MacOS up to 9.2.1 Why Do I Want To Disable The Shift Key? ======================================= Holding down the Shift key when launching your Macintosh will prevent all extensions to load at start-up. This is an interesting feature when you have start-up crashes from incompatible extensions and control- panels. However, if your system is running smooth, you may want to protect your computer with a password protection or a similar application/extension. Most password protections for the Mac are extensions or controlpanels. Therefore you can simply bypass them when holding down the Shift key at start-up. This is where the "SKS" comes in. It gives you the option to disable the Shift key only for the start-up time. After your Mac booted, the Shift key works as it always worked when you worked with your Mac. The "Shift Key Suite" is US$5 shareware. It is available from Marc Mennigmann's web site http://www.mennigmann.com and all major Macintosh shareware archives and ftp sites. The "Shift Key Suite" is free for all registered users of the Macintosh password protection THE BLOCK. System Requirements: Any Apple Macintosh or clone running MacOS System 7.0 or later. What's New? =========== v1.0.6 adds compatibility for the MacOS 9.2 and 9.2.1. All systems since MacOS 7.0 are supported now.
