	I almost couldn't help laughing when I was reading a couple of postings
about how to fool their bosses by hiding files on PC. The tricks mentioned are
so primitive that they probably only work for real computer illiterates. The
"highest" technology I've read about so far is to change the file attribute.
A follow-up innovation is to hide the whole directory this way. One trick even
suggests using ASCII 128-255. The author patiently explained that extended
ASCII's can be entered by using Alt numeric pad. Sounds like a high school
computer interest group forum.
