Rich,
So I guess I'll go ahead with this if you've got no objections?

Hi all,
I've been adding new features to Hi-Toro and I thought I should
gather some comments and opinions on one new feature in particular.
I've added the option to emulate the write-protect tab of a floppy
disk by using the Finder to set the "locked" attribute of a disk
file. I want to make this a persistent setting for each
configuration so I've added a new configuration option:
osx.floppy<drive>lock=true/false
AFAIK the ability to lock a file without altering it's permissions
is unique to OS X, so I've used the prefix "osx" instead of "unix".
I could use "hi-toro" but I thought this option and method of write-
protecting/enabling disk images might one day be supported within E-
UAE.
I don't want to go ahead with this without getting feedback from
Rich and others about the sanity, wisdom, implications, politics of
adding a new configuration option.
Regards,
Daniel Pimley
