- PROBLEM: A customer was having a strange problem. The DOS DIR
- command would not see any files in a directory but NDIR
- would. NDIR would show the files as having "SW" attributes.
- However, typing "FLAG *.* SRW" would produce a message "No
- files matching this parameter were found". Filer could not
- change the file attributes either.
-
- SOLUTION: Someone had used the HIDEFILE command by mistake, flagging
- all files as hidden. After running SHOWFILE (or FLAG with
- latest versions) and revealing the files, everything was
- back to normal. Remember that running NDIR will show all
- files including hidden files.
