Quartz OS. True sandboxed users.

Most OS's are just little graphical shells or windowing systems. Quartz OS is different. Do you share the same computer with someone? Do you want a secure environment to test new programs in? Then Quartz is for you.

What it does:
• Protects your files from other users.
• Lets you use your Pocket PC to boot normal PC's and continue your work on a bigger screen.

How to use:
• Basic CraftOS after login screen.
• Access your home folder
• Put in a disk drive and boot. Use the same exact paths for everything.

Suggestion: use error(msg,0) in your access denied messages. That makes it so that it simply shows "Access denied" instead of "[string "protect"]:43:Access denied"

Also, instead of disallowing read/write on files, simply use CC's inbuilt read-only files feature.

local oldIRO = fs.isReadOnly
function fs.isReadOnly(sPath)
  if isProtected(sPath) then --not sure how you do this
    return true
  end
  return oldIRO(sPath)
end

fs.isReadOnly is not checked by the other fs API functions, which means that even though the edit program doesn't work, the files can still be edited using fs.open.

Then make fs.open use isReadOnly.

Nice job, Sxw! This looks promising to me!
