Workplace Security Version 2.0

June 18, 1995 -- Maple Valley Software (Maple Grove, MN) announces the
availability of version 2.0 of Workplace Security - the add-on object
level security product for OS/2 Warp.

Workplace Security is now available through BMT Micro. BMT Micro is a fast
growing shareware distributor with a special emphasis on OS/2. BMT Micro's
online OS/2 Shareware catalog can be accessed via their Web page -

Workplace Security for OS/2 Warp is one of the new generation of object
oriented software products based on System Object Model (SOM) technology.
Unlike traditional software applications which must be started in order to
use them, Workplace Security integrates seamlessly into OS/2 Warp's
Workplace Shell user interface. You never have to start it or stop it,
it's always there and it's always working.

Workplace Security provides password controlled access to protect your
desktop objects from unauthorized access, tampering or accidental
shredding. Workplace Security prevents "locked" objects from being opened
or having their settings changed without entering the correct password. It
prevents "Locked" objects from being deleted, renamed, moved, copied,
dragged, or from receiving dropped objects.

Workplace Security allows you to control which menu items are displayed for
the desktop and for any folder or program object when the object is
locked.

Workplace Security is easy use

After installing Workplace Security a new "Password" page is seamlessly
added to the settings notebook for every "folder" and "program" object on
your desktop, including the desktop settings notebook. The "Password" page
contains the security options for the object. Once a password has been
entered for an object, a "Lock" menu item is added to the objects menu.
Simply select the lock menu item to secure the object. When an object is
locked, an unlock item is displayed in the menu. Selecting the unlock menu
item or clicking on the object will displays the password dialog. The
correct password must be entered to open the object.
