Note that AppleShar 2.0 depends on a new finder chacking for that
protection.  It does not prevert Joe Users' arbitrary copy program from
accessing and copying ANY file that may be flagged "execute only".  

To really make things execute only would involve non-compatible changes to
the resource manager.  Maybe this will happen when real multi tasking
happens.
