Why not just get one of those programs that will allow you to launch a script 
when there is a disk change. Have the script check to see if a file called LOCK 
is on the zip, if so, lock it with the lock command. Then write a small script 
that will allow you to toggle that file on & off from WB. If you can program, 
write a program to check the w bit on the disk.info file on the zip and use that 
as the lock indicator.

What controller are you using? I don't have that problem on my A4000 w/4091, 
3000, GVP 4008 or Trumpcard Pro.
