Hardlock Driver v1.05 for Linux v2.2/v2.4
=========================================
Installation
------------
Please refer to the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
What's new?
-----------
* Drivers updated to 1.05 and versions for newer Linux kernels.
* Enhanced security.
Old news (from previous releases):
* Hardlock USB is now supported.
USB key access is managed with a new daemon, aksusbd. Since both
the parallel and the USB key accesses are routed through this daemon,
it must always be installed, even if USB access isn't needed.
* Since the kernel mode driver now also supports the HASP key,
it's name has been renamed from hardlock.o to aksparlnx.o.
The entry in /dev is still /dev/Hardlock, since this affects
existing applications.
* Kernel driver now uses parport method to share parallel port
with other drivers. Printing and Hardlock access shouldn't
disturb each other any more.
Demo-Programs
-------------
The demo program 'hl-demo' and its sources are in the usr subdirectory.
Type 'make' in the usr directory to rebuild 'hl-demo'.
(If make says "Nothing to be done for 'all'" or similar, try
"make clean all".)
hlapi_c.c is the high level library of the Hardlock functions.
You find more documentation about programming for the Hardlock in the
Hardlock High-Level-API reference manual. Suggested readings are also the
Hardlock Technical manual and, for special needs, the Low-Level-API reference
manual.
