****************************************************************

     You will need to self extract the ssdemo.exe file to a diskette
drive.  The demo will only install from a diskette drive.  
Type ssdemo x:\ -d to perform the extract.  This will create an 
installation diskette.  From the installation diskette
run the install program "a:install". ** See the release notes below **

Steps:
          1.) Get a blank formatted diskette and insert into a diskette drive
          2.) Type "ssdemo x:\ -d" (x = diskette drive letter)
          3.) Type "x:Install" to install Simply Secure.

-  A SIMPLE APPROACH TO USING Simply Secure:
     
  1.) Run the Easy Setup from the Simply Secure main screen. 
  2.) Identify those Icons you want the DO NOT want to secure by selecting
       the Icon and clicking "Allow Unsecured".
  3.) Save this configuration, by clicking "Secure These", don't go to UNSECURED
       mode yet.
  4.) Customize your LaunchPad, Remove those items you DO NOT 
       want secured users to have access to or lock the LaunchPad drawers.  
       A good candidate is the Drives Icon.  Don't worry about the
       command prompts these are protected in Secured Mode.
  5.) Now go to SECURED Mode.
  6.) Check out the screen for looks, if you are happy with it, your done. If 
       not go back to UNSECURED Mode and move things around to your liking
       and then go back to SECURED Mode.  
  7.) Please give us feed back.

     -  Simply Secure should be the last product installed in your system 
        at ALL times.  This will ensure that Simply Secure has the "last say" in 
        what happens to icons on your desktop.  Products such as LAN Services,
        CCmail, and some others make changes to the OS/2 WorkPlace Shell.
        The WorkPlace Shell processing says the last application to be installed
        is the last one to get control.  Since nothing will happen until the last
        application gets control, it is imperative that Simply Secure be the last one.
        To ensure this rerun the install and select "Remove" to remove
        Simply Secure from the system and shutdown.  Then rerun the install 
        and select "Install".  This will ensure that Simply Secure is the last application
        installed.

****************************************************************
     - DO NOT USE the options that allows you to restart your system from 
       within Simply Secure when you have WARP Connect installed.  
       The result of allowing Simply Secure to Restart the WPS will be the
       loss of the Share option on your Icons.  However this is corrected
       when you do a complete shutdown. 

     - After installation the WorkPlace Shell is reset without shutting
       down the system.  We have only seen the problem with WARP
       Connect, ICONS loose their Share Option, we have seen NO other problems. 
       The WorkPlace Shell is re-initializing and will be back in a minute.  
       Please be patient. 

     - When in Unsecured Mode it will appear that you are able to add items to
        the LanuchPad.  In fact you are not able to.  When you drop the icon on the
        LaunchPad nothing will happen.

     - When in Unsecured Mode the Master Index located in the Information
        folder will still show the option of "Create another".  Although
        the option is there it will not work.

      Simply Secure from Atlantic Research Group is a 
      multithreaded, SOM/WPS compliant application that provides
      robust and complete security administration of Desktop objects,
      including the LaunchPad.  The basic architecture of Simply Secure 
      provides for two modes of system operation; Secured and Unsecured.
      It's ease of use and intuitive interface provides a simple 
      means of configuring these two modes.  The product comes with
      an Easy Configuration option which allows the Administrator
      or Parent, to configure these modes in just a few simple steps.
      When in Secured mode, global restrictions exist for context menus,
      drag & drop operations, program execution, LaunchPad functions, 
      and file access. Simply Secure does not limit the administrator
      to these two modes.  Simply Secure provides for password 
      protection of WPS objects, and the ability to set attributes 
      for any WPS object.  This gives the administrator the ability 
      to selectively secure WPS objects, and maintain unrestricted 
      access to the rest of the system.  Additionally the Administrator
      can selectively secure WPS Objects with passwords, as well as,
      put the system in Secured mode.  With all of this flexible 
      security, configuring Simply Secure for your environment 
      is a "simple task."  Unsecured mode is "vanilla" WPS, unless the 
      administrator has configured password protection for an object.
                  
      On a more technical note, Simply Secures interfaces support
      direct manipulation employing Presentation Manager Containers,
      Context Sensitive menus, Notebooks and a complete on-line 
      Help System.  Simply Secure replaces many WorkPlace Shell classes 
      including, but not limited to; WPFolder, WPDesktop,
      WPShredder and WPLaunchPad and several of the class methods
      within the classes.  Simply Secure uses drag & drop enabled
      Presentation Manager Containers, and WPS objects for all security 
      configurations.  These dialogs are all multithreaded from the
      WorkPlace Shell to give the user a "what you see is what you get"
      environment when configuring the Secured mode.  Simply Secure
      adds to ALL WPS objects two new settings pages enabling the
      WPS object to be password protected, or the styles of the object
      modified. Simply secure maintains a record of the original
      style state of all altered objects.  This allows Simply Secure to 
      restore these objects to their original state at administrator
      request or if Simply Secure is ever de-installed. The Drawer page,
      added to all instances of the LaunchPad, allows the administrator
      to "lock" the LaunchPad drawers and require a password to open them.  
      Simply Secure maintains all of its information in the os2.ini file.
      This provides for an automatic archive of the Simply Secure 
      environment when an OS/2 system archive is taken.
