Come on, everyone makes a security program when they get into it. I
made a screen saver linked to the autoexec so if you didn't get the
password and tried to reboot it would stop you again. If you put a
password on the CMOS setup after setting "Boot C: A:" and putting
[iirc] switches=/k/n in config.sys it is as secure as possible.
I also had utilities called "CDS", "MDS", "RDS", etc which could make
directories with a space in it. This was before W95, and so we never
tested with it. Directory examples: "C:\MY STUFF", "C:\SFT WRE",
"C:\D A T A.! �", or sometimes mixed chr(255) with it too.
BTW, try this line in Linux:
cat /dev/zero > /tmp/mytempfile
This will fill your harddrive up in seconds!!
Or this one:
cat /dev/fd0 > /tmp/floppy.img
This will create an image of your floppy disk and the next line
should diskcopy it.
cat /tmp/floppy.img > /dev/fd0
This is without mounting. And they said Linux wasn't easy to use. <G>
