For what is worth,  I see several posts mentioning  how to use Norton
Utilies to break thru various protection schemes.   I  find  that Norton's
DISKREET  program is the most  effective protection I have found so far 
for data in a PC.  It will not prevent anyone from booting the machine,
but data in DISKREET's virtual disk can be DES encrypted, and it even
allows the creation of virtual disks on diskettes, each with itsown
password (key).  Access to the data is very straight foreward once the
key is entered.

If any given program runs correctly, it is obsolete.
