	It seems to me that is the DEFINATELY the wrong approch to the problem!
If I were doing this (which I am not, thank god) I would simply patch _Open
and _Create so that if a appl tries to open a file it is returned ReadOnly and
_Create always returns an error so no files are created.  You might be careful
with these as this would mean that NOTHING could write to the disk (including
the OS, Inits, DA's ,etc.)
