                       Ok, Bastard Sword is a real simple program. What it does
          is lock files in a network environment (like Novell NetWare). All
          you need is  "Read" rights to the file you wish to lock. If a data or
          program file is locked no one else can read or execute it until it is
          released (this is done when you leave Bastard Sword , you exit     
          the network or you computer is turned off). After starting the 
          program just type in the name and path of the file you want to lock.
          If you wish to change to drive/directory you are in all you have to
          do is shell out to DOS  an change it. This program should only be
          used by network administrators because it can really screw up
          things if you lock up a program on the network that everybody
          uses. To see all of the command for Bastard Sword just type "help"
          at it's command  prompt. The basic commands are shell, help, exit,
          and dir (these should be self  explanatory). 
                    
               Good Luck!
