- There is another "trick" you can try. If the .exe file needs to read itself
- when it runs, mark the file as hidden. I can't speak for PCNFS, but setting
- the setuid bit on the executable hides the file when using BWNFS. This
- prevents msdos from seeing it when using its resident commands like DIR and
- COPY. Unfortunately, if users connect to your machine on the unix end, they
- can still cp the file over.
