Description
Resco Locker is a utility that keeps applications locked in memory on NVFS systems. Main reason FOR ITS USE is the safety. NVFS brought changes to the Palm OS programming and not all applications reflected them. (Those that were last time updated prior to NVFS release, could not.) One of the most frequent problems is that the Palm databases are no longer fixed. That's exactly the problem that is targeted by Resco Locker. For more detailed explanation of the NVFS specifics see please the discussion on the Resco Backup product page.
As a side effect, applications locked in memory need less time to load, which in turn may increase the performance of your handheld.

Key Features
- Prevented locking of ROM DBs (crash), moving cursor by typing a char, support for DA's (Desk Accessories), sorting by the lock state.
- The possibility to lock overlays that override some ROM database, i.e. RAM databases of the type 'ovly' which have a ROM DB with the same name/creator/type.
- You can save DbCache space by locking the code segments only. (Concerns apps only.)
- "!" marks apps that might be acting on background. (They receive typical notifications.)
- While this tool is for free, we do not take any responsibility for eventual consequences.
- Attributes: ! - Receives Notifications; L - Locked; O - Opened; B - Backup; P - Protected
- Resco Locker can be disabled, in which case it unlocks all currently locked applications. (However, these apps will be further on marked as locked.)
- Resco Locker can restore application locks on reset or clear all locks - depending on the option the user selects.
- Please note that while Resco Locker can be formally used on non-NVFS systems, it cannot do anything usefull here.

Overview
Typical use: In Options dialog select Enable RLocker and switch on 'Only lock code'. Go to Action trigger > Select Defaults, unselect apps that you know are safe, press Lock button and test it. If satisfactory, switch on 'Restore locks after reset' in the Options dialog. Otherwise read Help.txt (part of the .zip installer).
