Since Netware 2.0 (and maybe earlier) you can set the Execute Only
attribute on any *.exe or *.com file.  This attribute cannot be reset!
An Execute Only file may be deleted only by the Supervisor!  Do not do
this to programs that have overlays, they will not work!

I keep another copy of the program in a secure directory, so I can
modify the program and also have a copy on my backup disks.

Use the FILER program to set such attributes.
