Re: Hidden password

[Bob Larkin <blarkin@xxxxxx>]

You could embed a hex character for ND (Non display in the code to make the line
disappear. Low tech, it would be broken by overtyping the ND attribute.

Second option. Put it in a file that is read by the CL. Secure the file, so it
can only be read by user XYZ. Compile CL to run under owner's profile, and make
owner XYZ. Also compile without observability (To prevent Debug attempts). You
must make this program bullet proof, because an abend would allow a dump of the
programs variables.

Maybe SneakerNet  <vbg>
