Bad idea. I'm the LAN Manager for my Novell LAN and I wouldn't allow my 
SECRING on any portion of that File Server!! And, yes, temp files *do* 
get created, all over the place! What's the problem with having your 
(40?) users run the program from floppy? The program is free, so there're 
no royalties or licensing agreements to worry about. You could even set 
up an option on the LAN to run a shell or menu of options for them all 
from the LAN, checking first to make sure they've got the floppy in the 
drive before trying to run anything. And, if you get a shell that can tie 
in to your existing e-mail program, all the better! This way your users 
keep their SECRINGs "secret" but can also run the program without having 
to be logged in to do it, as long as they know what they're doing.
