     McCloud  will forbid any floppy disk access on the specified disk.  It
will  likely  be useful in case you don't want unskilled people to jam with
your  disks.   McCloud  won't  provide  you  any  data  encryption, it just
modifies  the  specified  disk's  bootblock  to render it invisible to your
computer.

     The  reason  why I decided only to modify the bootblock is principally
the  security:   should  the  disk present any read/write error, you'll get
your  datas  back  with  a common program like DiskSalv, QBTools and so on,
while  a  full  encryption  might be more unhandy.  Anyway McCloud's aim is
just to protect a bit your disks, not to grant full security.

     If  you  insert in any drive a disk protected by McCloud, no icon will
appear,  and, if asked via CLI/Shell, the Amiga will confirm the absence of
any disk in your drive! Magical, isn't it? :)
