A shareware password protection utility was recently posted to comp.binaries.mac, after installing it successfully and playing with it some, I'm left a little puzzled about protecting files on my Mac. My investigations showed me that all someone has to have to defeat this "protection" program is a copy of DiskTop (substitute your favorite Finder enhancement program here), it is then quite trivial to copy a "protected" file onto floppies, TOPS networks, external HD's, etc, etc.. Is this program representative of the state-of-the-state, am I missing something here? How does this utility qualify as a "protection" program? Thanks, John Nevius .../tikal/amc/nevius
