Re: A83: Invisible




ok i am dealing with people who would have no idea how to unhide it so your
point is now void (in my case)

  Yes you could make the program invisible to stop people from
 transfering it from calc to calc but they could always unhide it with
 just a simple program.  You could make it go through and check to see
 if it is hidden or not to stop this but they could just hide it again.  
   I have easier way to stop this, just make the program write back in
 itself everytime the program is loaded and only let it load say ten
 times or so.  Or just make the program delete itself after everytime
 it is loaded but this would be a pain for the beta testers too.   This
 would eventually become a pain for people to keep sending to their
 calcs and they will stop using it.
 
   The only true way to stop the program from being transfered is to
 give only to people you trust.
 
   Hiding the programs is a good way to make your teachers think there
 is nothing 'important' on your calc, but you have to have ashell or
 sos to load them and that is not invisible.
 
   I think the best thing about hiding them is so that your program
 list isn't cluttered with a million (I rarely have more than ten)
 programs.
 
 Sorry for the long long reply guys, but I was bored and dicided to try
 and make a point of some sort of which I have no idea what it was.
