A shareware password protection utility was recently posted to
comp.binaries.mac, after installing it successfully and playing with it
some, I'm left a little puzzled about protecting files on my Mac.

My investigations showed me that all someone has to have to defeat this
"protection" program is a copy of DiskTop (substitute your favorite Finder 
enhancement program here), it is then quite trivial to copy a "protected" file
onto floppies, TOPS networks, external HD's, etc, etc..

Is this program representative of the state-of-the-state, am I missing something
here?  How does this utility qualify as a "protection" program?

Thanks,

John Nevius
