1.  Introduction

WALL is a secure Windows shell allowing users to access only those
programs specified by the administrator.  WALL is launched
automatically at system startup in a way that precludes direct user
access to Windows and DOS.  This program provides a user-friendly 
interface to a limited and predetermined set of options, including
launching specified programs, formatting floppy disks and copying
files.  Any actions involving modifying disk contents are limited
to the floppy drives.  The programs available are customizable from 
the administrator setup facility.


2.  How to Install WALL

Please read the install.txt file for information on installing the
program on your computer.  This file contains IMPORTANT INFORMATION
that must be followed in order to correctly install WALL.  The file
also contains instructions on how to uninstall WALL.  Note that the
DEFAULT password for the Administrator Group is "wall".  It is advised
that you change this password IMMEDIATELY!


3.  System Requirements

WALL requires an IBM compatible computer running the Windows 95
operating system.  Wall has been tested with both Windows 95
and Windows 95 SR-1.  There is a minor conflict on computers running
the Internet Explorer 4.0 desktop update.  On machines with the update
installed, the Control Panel button on the administrator screen will
not function properly.  You can work around this problem by opening
Explorer by clicking on the Explorer button and then opening the
Control Panel from there.
