Does anyone out there know of any programs that will write
protect just a partition of a hard drive?  All that I've seen
block and call to device 80h, the first physical drive which
covers all of the partitions.

  Thanks.

- Real programmers like vending machine popcorn.  Coders pop it in the
  microwave oven.  Real programmers use the heat given off by the cpu.
  They can tell what job is running just by listening to the rate of popping.
