PROTECT.SYS (\FBB\SYSTEM). First, be aware of this useful feature: If PROTECT.SYS does not exist, FBB looks for PROT_D.SYS (for DosFBB) PROT_W.SYS (for WinFBB) PROT_L.SYS (For LinFBB) So it is possible to have for example DosFBB and WinFBB files in the PC at the same time, even if they need different PROTECT-files. This is useful at sites where you want to change from WinFBB to DosFBB from time to time.. This file is in the SYSTEM directory. In this file you can specify some directories in which you do NOT want any sysop to be able to delete any files, without a special syntax. To delete files in protected directories, the command must look like this: DEL +FORWARD.SYS In an un-protected directory the command looks like this: DEL FORWARD.SYS. So you can see that you need an extra '+' sign in protected directories. Example of PROTECT.SYS: \ \FBB \TOOLS![]()
