I have an unpleasant problem... I have a MacII that is used by office
mates when I am not actually planted in front of it that has "sensitive"
data files from Excel and Word on it.  Since I arrange my folders by
date, it is reasonably easy to see if someone has been (unintellegently)
snooping around.

I recognize that I could Stuffit with a password, or move to floppy disk,
but I prefer to simply have "lockable" folders on my hard disk.

Is there such a utility available, either in the PD or commercially?
Is there a development effort that I could beta to bring such a beast up?

Thanks.
