Protecting Disks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you are finished adding the record, re-select it as if you are
editing it.  At that point you may press the [F2] key and add the
protection to the floppy disk.

If you named an .EXE file in the product, make sure that it is on
the diskette so that its serial number can be recorded correctly.

The following messages will be displayed when you add protection
to a disk.

                 ** ERROR **
    Drive A: not ready or not formatted.
          Press any key to continue

This message means that the diskette in the drive needs formatted,
you forgot to shut the drive latch or some other reason that would
cause PROPLUS not to read the disk.

                ** WARNING **
Drive A: already has a protection control file for this
application.  Press 'y' to continue, any other key to abort.


This message means that the diskette in the drive already has a
protection control file on it.  If you would like to overwrite it,
press the [y] key.

                ** NOTICE **
Protection Plus control file created.  Product EXE not serialized.
The EXE name is missing from the product database screen.


This message means that the diskette in the drive now contains the
protection control file.  It also indicates that the .EXE file was not
serialized because you did not name the .EXE file name in your
product database.

                ** NOTICE **
Protection Plus control files created.  Product EXE not serialized.
The file YOURFILE.EXE is missing on the destination drive.

This message means that the diskette in the drive now contains the
protection control file.  It also indicates that the .EXE file was not
serialized because you named the .EXE file name in your product
database, however the .EXE file on your product diskette is
missing.
                ** NOTICE **
Protection Plus control files created.  Product EXE has not been
serialized.  The serial() function is missing from the program YOURFILE.EXE.  Check your program to make sure the function
              serial() exists.

This message means that the diskette in the drive now contains the
protection control file.  It also indicates that the .EXE file was not
serialized because either, you forgot to insert the function serial()
in your main .PRG file or you have already protected the file.

   Protection Plus control files created.
      Product EXE has been serialized.
          Press any key to return.

This message means that the diskette in the drive now contains the
protection control file and the .EXE file has been modified.
