[Eisuke Muroga asks about password protection for folders]

This is something that's long overdue. MacSafe et. al. are nice but they are
overkill to a point; practically "finder replacements" for all their com-
plexity. What is needed is a simple, quick-and-dirty routine where one would
simply double-click on a folder, and it would ask for a password before it
zoomed open. Simple as that. Of course, it would also have to work if the
folder were accessed from within an application. 

This would be a "useful" (wink, wink...) application for someone to write and
stick on comp.binaries.mac.
