Not Windows NT+. Windows NT couldn't care less about       that attribute. IIRC, by Windows, it's only used by the built in Backup       application. Dunno how *nix based OSes treat that attribute.              But that attribute is not DOS' file attribute. It's FAT's file attribute.       It's just that, modern OSes don't use it anymore. It's more like an extra       file attribute usable as a marker for whatever context it was for.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
