Hello once again....

Following will be a posting in 5 parts of Termlock v1.16.

For current users of Termlock, the differences between this version and the
last public release (v1.07) are as follows (I hope I remember everything!):

[]	Remote command execution: (for the user running Termlock only)
	  By sending messages "to himself" a person running Termlock on
	  another terminal than the one he is currently on can perform a
	  few functions...

	[]	:status		sends back info on number of msgs of what type
	[]	:message	allows re-definition of the reply-message
	[]	:logout		log out the Termlock process from afar
	[]	:help		display the list of remote commands

[]	User-defined location (and name of) Termlock log file.
	  (via the TERMLOCK$LOGFILE logical)

[]	System-wide timeout that will restrict the maximum amount of time
	  that a Termlock process can run (settable by the system manager
	  at a specific site).  (via the TERMLOCK$SYSTEM_TIMEOUT logical)

[]	User-defined timeout (restricted by the system-wide one above).
	  (via the TERMLOCK$TIMEOUT logical)

[]	"improved" (but still VT-100 specific) screen layout.

[]	Properly handles the NODE::USER bug in JNET's SEND command that
	  previously would cause Termlock's subprocess to commit suicide.
	  Now, JNET 3.3 users have PHONE replies disabled (until JNET
	  fixes the bug) via #ifdef's.

[]	Fixes the "F6" bug that previously caused Termlock to drop to DCL
	  (no questions asked), and get around to the exit handler later.
	  Now, F6 does nothing.

[]	Fixed a minor bug where receiving a message while locking would
	  lock the terminal by default (whether or not the password was
	  confirmed).  Now, it unlocks by default.

[]	Included a BUILD.COM to automate compilation of Termlock.  (This
	  command file also determines which version of JNET you are
	  running.)

Please note, if you were on my "update distribution list" and have received
an interim version of Termlock, please update!  Otherwise, you will still
have some of the bugs fixed above (the F6 bug has been in there since the
beginning!).  In other words, if you have anything other than v1.16 now,
you should upgrade.  :-)

The 5-part VMS_SHARE file includes TERMLOCK.C, the source code, TERMLOCK.DOC,
the ducumentaion in text format, and BUILD.COM, the compilation command file,
as well as a copy of this message (as TERMLOCK.UPDATE).

I hope you enjoy the program!
