Our public libraries in Denmark are about to buy complete Fish disk
libraries for public lending, but they are quite worried about possible
sabotage in the form of viruses, Greetings and the like on their disks.
Is there anyting better to do than to glue the write protection block into
permanent read-only position? This is too easy to circumvent - just use a
creditcard.
   Any help would be greatly appreciated - the concept of PD disks in the
public libraries is just too good to waste!
