I'm looking for a program that asks for a password before allowing you to boot from a hard disk. I have one PD program but, this program allows the type to be seen when you type in the password. This can be awkward when someone is watching over your shoulder. Anyway, I'm looking for a version or another program that masks the typed in letters. Any ideas? Thanks, [I realize that someone could easily gain access by booting from a floppy but this is not the type of person I am worried about.] R. Scott V.

To all who responded, many thanks. The easiest solution is: use MacTools from Copy II Mac to set the protection bit on the file - Thanks again Bill.

Alright, I've have yet to find out exactly what the protection bit does for a file. Anybody out there know what it does and how this relates to the locked bit? -- Randy Buckland (919)-541-7103 Research Triangle Institute rcb@rti.rti.org [128.109.139.2] ...!decvax!mcnc!rti!rcb
