I am looking for a utility under IBM DOS 2.0/2.1 that will allow me to write
protect files and/or directories.  My department just bought four more P.C.'s
and is going to have them networked together with the Blossom ring,  with
a hard disk on the hmfic machine,  and I desparately need a way to keep the
commies(er, um, uh, USERS) from zapping the disk on a daily basis.

I think I know enough to remove the format program,  but how does one keep
people from saying 'erase *.*  OOPS!'?  I really think this is a 
necessary utility,  and will be eternally grateful if anyone can point
me to a utility that does this,  public or private.

I will post or mail the responses to this query,  as the volume of interest
dictates.

				Thanks in advance,
