In the FILER utility you can select EXECUTE ONLY as an attribute (this is a
Novell-added attribute, not DOS). Once a file is EXECUTE ONLY it can NOT be copi
   copied to any other drive. Pick the main .
.EXE program file (like WP.EXE) and make it execute only to effectively prevent
software theft. Two caveats: once a file is execute-only NO ONE (including the
supervisor) may move or copy it, it must be deleted and then re-installed.
Secondly, not all programs will work with the main EXE file set to execute-only,
   for example, RBase for DOS Network version bombs - test first.
