I was just wondering... An article on the net several months ago hinted that
write-protecting a disk (with the tab in the upper left corner) didn't REALLY
protect the disk; that it was up to the software to ask the OS if the disk
was locked; that if the s/w didn't ask, the disk could be written to whether
or not it was locked.    DOES ANYONE IN NETLAND KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE?????
