A prof here bought SoftPC for his Mac IIcx hoping he would be able to
execute programs that we have on our Novell file server. Well, he can
access the programs okay, but all our software is set "execute only"
so that curious students can't help themselves to copies of our software.
Unfortunately, the execute only software does not load properly in
SoftPC--i.e., it fails to load. Read-only software works fine, but
we are not prepared to remove the execute-only status of our software
to satisfy this one SoftPC user. Has anyone had similar experiences
and can suggest a solution or a workaround to this problem? Any
comments would be appreciated.
