A82: Re: password program
One problem : it would always be possible to send a copy of CrASH to another
calc and use it on that calc without using the password. The only way to
correct this is to modify CrASH. Making sure that the password is not
transferred to another calc is possible (can be done in BASIC using a bit of
hacking), but it eont help since you wouldn't have to use the pasword on the
other calc.

BTW There do exits BASIC programs for the TI82, so how much banning CrASH
will help you I am not sure.
