Hello Russel,

RC>    You could possibly write a wrapper program which asks the locking
RC> program to unlock the files and then runs the application in question...

Now, this is a GREAT idea ! Take the problem, turn it around and you got
the solution. It is much easier to keep the files locked by default and
unlock them only when we receive a validated request !

RC>   If you want a decent OS/2 security program then call Airtech Computer
RC>   Security on +61-3-9802-1912, 

Hmmmm. Isn't it yet another incarnation of Eliashim's MasterSafe -
Safetynet STOPLIGHT etc ?

RC> or just get LAN Server advanced.

They already have lan server advanced, about 100 of them I think ;-)

Thanks
Pierre
