A question on File Shield if I may? Is File Shield supposed to detect
all internal changes to a file, or just certain changes such as the
change of the file's time/date stamp?

Example, compile a program using MS 6.0 'C' and then use File Shield
to protect the program. Then use Norton Utilities to edit the compiled
file to change a letter in the copyright string.

When I do the above, File Shield does not pick up the change, or in
any event it does not report the change. If I change the time or date
stamp, File Shield picks it up immediately.
