Okay, I give up.  What is the function of the archive bit?   Does this
tell the opsys to do some auditing?  The furschluginner book tells you
how to set it but not what it's for.
Also in passing......is there a way to copy protect specific files?
Even something low level, just to keep the geeks out.

Best,
Bob
