A while ago, I managed to come across a very unique thing on my IBM: A
directory that was hidden and protected.  I know how to hide and protect
files but not directories!  If I wanted to do this, would I have to
use debug (or similar program) to edit the access bits for the directory
by editing its listing in the FAT?  Are there any programs that would
do this for me?  If anyone out there has one, I would be very greatful
if they could send it to me somehow (assuming it is PD, of course.)
If you would be willing, please email me at sfn20715@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu.
Mucho thanks in advance.
