You can also set the "HIDE" bit on the directory entry for this
directory. Won't "the boss" become suspicious when he sees
something wierd on your PC? Also, if he knows anything about
utilities such as PCTOOLS, he'll discover almost anything you try
to hide. Wouldn't you be better off by not risking your job by
stealing time your boss has paid for?
