PASSWORD 1.2         Copyright 1989, Logic Associates, Chicago

 Waits silently for a password, without displaying keystrokes:
  *   If password is correct, passes control to CP/M.
  *   If password is wrong after 3 attempts, locks the keyboard.

 This program provides simple log-on security for any CP/M computer
 used as a remote-accessible system.

 The password must be 1 to 8 characters and must end with a blank.
 To set password, include it on the PASSWORD command line.
 To use password, precede it with a carriage return.

 Example:

    a)  Setting the password:  PASSWORD  WXYZ_<cr>

    b)  Using the password:    <cr>WXYZ_

    where "<cr>" = RETURN key, and "_" = blank.
