Netware 3.0 is a little past my experience, but with 2.1x and below this
kind of thing just can't be done. Netware 2.x security is strictly by
user, there is no such thing as a "privvied program."
But perhaps (things are gettin' weird…) the little "execute only" program
could bypass MS-DOS's "exec" routines and load Pagemaker (et al.) into
memory itself? Then the pagemaker EXE could be ENCRYPTED (but don't use
S-coder–HA!) and only the little "execute only" would have the key.
Then set Pagemaker read-only, accessable to all. The BIG drawback is that
writing your own loader that the OS won't choke on is megatricky.
