 TOPIC ---------------------------------------------

 I want to use a utility (that is: Disk Tools, DiskTop or ResEdit) to make
 Apple
 II folders (that is: Aristotle, system, and users) invisible to Macintosh
 users.  I want to prevent the users from going into a folder and trashing its
 contents.  I could "lock" them, but if they don't know they are out there it
 works better in the long run.

 Is this process safe?

 DISCUSSION ----------------------------------------

 The problem with making those files invisible to Macintosh users is that they
 will also be invisible to Apple IIGS users -- the Apple IIGS users will have
 no
 convenient way to launch Applesoft BASIC.

 We recommend locking them.  This prevents those without adequate AppleShare
 privileges from removing, renaming, or replacing them.
