Message-ID: <90020910102953@masnet.uucp> Date: 9 Feb 90 15:03:00 GMT Organization: Canada Remote Systems Limited, Mississauga, ON, Canada Lines: 23 If the LIST shows the bits hs------ for a file, the file is set for Hidden (a bit that is not supported by AmigaDOS 1.3.2 or lower) and it is a Script file (a file normally used by the EXECUTE but now EXECUTE need not be used). The fact that the --PARWED bits are not set means that the file is not Pure (see the RESIDENT command of 1.3 and 1.3.2), is not Archived (backed up), is not Readable, is not Writable, is not Executable, and is not Deletable. I would recommend you PROTECT +WED to make the file Writable, Readable, and Executable. Darrell --- * Via ProDoor 3.1R
