Let me add my one guilder advice: apart from doing things to
subdirectory entries and/or using weird names (<Alt-255>), you
could use the `secret' programs: MDSECRET, CDSECRET, RDSECRET.
I must've gotten them from a disk sponsored by a computer club
here in Holland; they're pretty old programs, but they work.
They could be lying around on Simtel; I'd check
<MSDOS.DIRUTL>.
