We've been using MacTools for undeleting and copy- protecting files. I've been wondering (haven't tried it yet) if it would be possible to have only the application visible in the main directory and thus the supplemental ones hidden in the system folder (invisible) or just make them invisible in the main directory. This would probably not be appropriate for some applications. (??) But there wouldn't be those crevices to hide files in anymore. Has anyone out there had success with this sort of thing? -- Andrew Webber Internet: a-webber@uiuc.edu University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
