1) Execute-Only on Novell is horrendous as you are no longer
   able to back up the Execute Only files.  Unacceptable.

2) Difficult (If not impossible) to copy protect programs on a PC,
   because the Executable has to be loaded into memory in order to
   run.  At which point you may make a copy from memory  (Of course
   you don't get the Overlay Files...)

3) Try experimenting with the Hidden attribute.  A DOS Copy won't
   work with a hidden files, but you can execute it.
