21. Password



I notice that many people posted question on users group - how to protect their lisp code.
There is one of the solutions .... PASSWORD.EXE - is self extracting zip file where you can fined
MRUN.LSP, MRUN.DCL,PASSW.LSP , PASSWORD.DCL and for those who do not have it
AutoDESK PROTECT.EXE . First run MRUN.LSP - in the dialog box specify which of yours AutoLISP
program you want to run (with or without extention).
Than specify PASSWORD VALUE - it can be numbers, letters or combination of both (remember it is case
sensetive), than routine will create file (in current directiry) RUN.LSP and will protect it using PROTECT.EXE
(DO NOT FORGET YOUR PASSWORD) . Than run PASSW.LSP - supply password in the box and it will
run your routine. There for only people who new password can run your AutoLISP. In addition you can
protect your program as well.
It is assumed that all files are accesible by AutoCAD (settings in PREFERENCES).
Written for R14 (not tested in R13).

To download pick here PASSWORD.EXE (Self extracting zip file).
