    For security purposes at a place I work, we were wondering if it was
possible in ms-dos to make files so that people couldn't write onto them.
One possible way we thought of was just to make the files so they can't 
see them by "hiding" them like some of the system files.  I know write 
protecting a floppy is one way, but this doesn't help with a hard drive.
Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanx in advance,
