There have been some discussions on the net about the file protect
bit and how to set and reset it.

As far as I know, there are three programs that can set and reset this
protect bit.  The first one is the most popular, MacTools (bundled with
Copy II Mac from Central Point Software).  The second one is MacSnoop, a
shareware file editting program that was posted on comp.binaries.mac a 
while ago ( the shareware fee is $25).  The third program is another
popular one (someone may disagree with me, but...), Symantec Tools, a
part of Symantec Utilities (which costs about $55 from MacConnection)

I remember someone posted an article saying that once the protect bit is 
set, one can not even move it around from folder to folder within a volume.
I tried it.  I used Symantec Tools to set the protect bit, but I was 
able to move the program (more specifically, an application) from one 
folder to another freely ( of course, I was not able to copy the program
to another disk).  I was a little puzzled about this.  Is it a feature in 
Symantec Tools or is it a feature in System 6.0 ?
