will hire programmer
Djspr
Hello-
I am a shareware programmer using "Liberty Basic". (A windows
basic language)
Currently, I'm working on a math program for kids for the Win95
platform. (mathbrk.exe) One of the things I need to do is to have
my program protected from kids shutting it off.
My program disables the Ctrl-Alt-Del function of Win95 but does not
prevent a kid from closing and restarting Windows, thereby shutting
off my program.
But my program is so big and uses slow loading dll's. This makes it
slow to load and a kid can kill it using ctrl-alt-del before I can
disable it.
So...
I need a tiny (so it will load instantly) program that is not dependent on
any .dll's (Written in C?) that would do the following:
1) run from the run= line in win.ini (My program will write the
run=yourProgram line into win.ini)
2) detect the current path of windows
3) look for a file named c:\windowsPath$\tdu.dwf
(My program will have created this file and written it's own path as a
string in this file)
4) if this file does not exist, (because the user must have deleted it)
immediately shut down
5) if it does exist, open this file and retrieve the path of mathbrk.exe
6) Using this path information, check to see if mathbrk.exe still
exists and if it does NOT, (because the user must have deleted my
program) immediately close down
7) If mathbrk.exe still exists, I need your program to disable the keyboard
using an api call to window's "user.dll" ("EnableHardwareinput" call)
and then run my program (mathbrk.exe) using the path information found
in c:\windowsPath$\tdu.dwf
8) Shut down WITHOUT re-enabling the keyboard. (My program will do that
after it loads)
I need all this to happen before a kid has a chance to kill your program
using the ctrl-alt-del function on their keyboard.
**I'd also like to get the source code for this in case I need to modify
it in the future
Can you do this? I hope so! I'm not sure how much to offer as payment,
maybe you can give me a figure. I'm hoping your figure is in the neighborhood
of a few large pizza's!!
Let me know...
