=====  Eat this line.....PLEASE!! ======


	I have two 'basic' questions:

     1. Can anyone please tell me how to 'hide' a program
	which should be executable through the autoexec.bat?

     2. I just bought a program called "Mind Prober" from
	The Human Edge.
	I put it on my hard disk (copy a:*.* c:), but when
	I start this program from the hard disk, the program
	in the opening screen looks at the a: drive.
	Obviously it can't find it, and tells me that the
	program (on the hard disk) is an illegal copy.
	So I made another copy (from a: to b:) and stuck this
	copy into the a: drive with the same result.

	Now, my question is: Can anyone please tell me how to do
	this in basic?  I'm not interested in unraveling this
	program, but I would like to use this routine in my
	own programs.



	THANKS!
