Password Protect your programs from snooping eyes with this simple Basic routine by Hamish Barr of South Wirral. The program asks for a password, in this case 'eugene'. To use your own password simply alter the word 'eugene' in line 60, making sure you use six characters. The program works by POKEing the number of lines at the bottom of the screen with the value 0. Since that is where error codes are printed, any attempt to BREAK the program will result in a systems crash until the correct password is entered, and the value is reset to 1. [Sic - the normal value is in fact 2.] The program can be used with any Spectrum, but please do not use it with programs that you want to send to us for publication!
