- GENERAL
- INFORMATION: A user reports that the FLAG command in NetWare 386 v3.1
- also flags hidden files so that the hidden files are no
- longer hidden. For example:
-
- FLAG *.* Normal
-
- This is also the case under NetWare 286. If you have
- NetWare 286 v2.15c or below, the FLAG command only allows
- you to change four of the eight options (Shareable, Read
- Only, Indexed, and Transactional). With NetWare 386 v3.0
- and up, you can change all of the attributes with flag and
- if you use the NetWare 386 FLAG with NetWare 286, you can
- change all of the attributes on the NetWare 286 server.
- However, you must have modify rights. In NetWare 286, files
- are hidden with the HIDEFILE and unhidden with the SHOWFILE
- commands.
