Hi,
This may be one of the dumbest question, but is there any way to password 
protect Allegro's DATAFILE (.DAT) so that if a user of my program has 
DJGPP and Allegro fully installed, tries to open up my program's .DAT file, it 
would ask for a password (which is stored in the .DAT file).
I mean, they can hack the Grabber program to by-pass the password (if 
possible), but is something like this possible, hopefully in the future (or is it 
already available in v3.x)?

Bye!
