- Allows the file attributes and extended file attributes
- to be modified on a Novell Netware Network.

-
- NFAU is a Netware utility that allows the file attributes and extended
- file attributes to be modified on a Novell Netware Network.
-
- This program is very similiar to Novell's flag.exe program with some
- differences that I found to be very beneficial. The first difference
- is the user can suppress display from the screen. This, for example,
- can be useful if shelling from another application. Also, when a file's
- attributes cannot be changed, it does not beep.
-
- FILES:
-
- nfau.zip - zip file containing readme.doc and nfau.exe.
-
- nfau.exe - executable file attribute utility.
-
- readme.doc - this document.
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- A good place for this utility is in \public. It really doesn't matter
- where it is placed, but it is recommended that it be available in the
- users path on the file server. It is recommended to flag this file as
- Sharable.
-
