Is there such a thing as a LaserWriter virus on an AppleTalk net? We printed out a directory listing from a MacII hooked to a net and on two of the pages got these large black lock-like looking things in the middle of the page. The funny thing is, they were different sizes, one was big, one was small. I didn't read about those in any Apple book 8-) - -- "Life is just a popularity contest, and I didn't get my entry in on time." -David L. Newton David L.

If the lock looking things were next to files or folders, (assuming you sorted the directory by name, type, size or date, of course) that means that the files they were adjacent to are locked. Select those files under the Finder and to a "Get Info..." (CMD-I), and you should see the locked file checkbox marked. If the locks _aren't_ next to any files... you got me swingin'. tom c Electromagnetic Armament Technology Branch US Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000 ARPA: tcora@pica.army.mil UUCP: ...!{uunet,rutgers}!pica.army.mil!tcora BITNET: Tcora@DACTH01.BITNET
