Where is the program Owl Screen Lock (OSL) that is supposed to be "in the Tech Tips library [Library 7] of ZiffNet's Computer Shopper forum"? I've spent my time and money to enter this forum, but when I enter the file name, OSLV20.ZIP, I'm told that the file doesn't exist. The quote above comes from COMPUTER SHOPPER, February 1992 issue, page 684: Freebies of the Month.

Hi, Alex … Owl Screen Lock hasn't made it to this forum yet. Since the column was written, the program author made some upgrades, and the filename is now OSLV.EXE and can be found in Lib 16 (Gen Utils) of the Utilities/Tips Forum (GO UTILFORUM). Not having the file available is giving me some idea of how many people read my column <grin>. "Where is Owl Screen Lock?" is the forum hot topic these days! — T.

Glad to see the file has finally made it here. Now can you people get str aight WHICH library this thing is filed in? The book says library 7, you say in your note to me library 16, however I find that library 7 is not the tech tips forum–and libary 8 is, the file is in library 8! A little consistency would be nice.
