Howdy. If someone could simply point me in the right direction I would be grateful. I am looking for a program that will password protect directories. Not files, not hard drives, just individual directories. If this was an easy program to find I wouldn't bother to post here, but trust me, I've tried. I KNOW that this program is out there, I just must be looking in all the wrong places. But that's trivial...right now, finding this program is an obsession. I MUST HAVE IT! Thanx..

DR DOS 5.0 has this. Here is the usage/help screen.
