Does anyone know how to set the protect bit on files
that are on HFS volumes? I used to do it with MacTools,
but, alas, they don't have it up to speed as far as HFS.
I'd thought I might be able to do it using RedEdit, but when
I click on protect, the check box, highlights but does not
click on.

Why do I need to set it you ask?  Because we'd like to discourage
people from copying software, and this stops the casual person.

Thanks.
