[This is a recording.]

  DR DOS 6.0, and its successor Novell DOS 7, have a basic set of
security features. However you should realize that, as long as someone
has physical access to a system, all software enforced security has
limited value. However, if you want to protect against accidental mis-use
or/and not too smart hackers, then DR DOS or Novell DOS may provide what
you are looking for. The next things you will probably want/need, are a
passworded BIOS or/and a diskette lock.

  I hope this helps.
