                      AmiStation - The Amiga Workstation
                      ----------------------------------
Do you get tired of your roomates always using your computer?  Are you
afraid that your children or coworkers might accidentally destroy your data
or beat your hi-score at Tetris while you're not around?  AmiStation
provides a way of not only protecting your machine from casual users, but
also gives your Amiga the look and feel of a hi-cost workstation machine.

AmiStation is a security program that restricts use, and can also track it.
Each "trusted" user is assigned a login name and password.  At bootup they
are presented with a login panel, ala a NeXT workstation where they must
enter their assigned username and password.  The system then records the
date and time of their login, so if someone screws up your system you'll
know who to blame.
