security beyond FAT (read/hidden/system/archive bits!), but LanMan 2.0 has a version of HPFS called HPFS386 which is still the HPFS format, but has security built into the file system - that is, you have to log on with a named account and password to get access priviledges to your LOCAL disk. Those priviledges are read, write, execute(only), change permissions, create, delete and these permissions are applied on a per-file basis according to your account name, and what account groups you are in. The upshot of this is that LanMan 2.0 gives your local machine 'real' security and os/2 1.2 does not. Alistair Banks OS/2 Group Microsoft
