FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Marc Mennigmann releases the "Shift Key Suite" v1.0.1
Iserlohn, Germany -- Nov 25, 1998 -- Marc Mennigmann today announced the
release of the "Shift Key Suite" v1.0.1, a powerful collection of
applications to extend the functionality of password protection systems for
Macintosh computers. v1.0.1 adds compatibility for the Macintosh OS 8.5.
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.kagi.com/mennigmann/) 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?
v1.0.1 adds compatibility for the Macintosh OS 8.5. All systems since MacOS
7.0 are supported now.
