If the atributes are set to System+Hidden+Readonly+Archive then the entry is part of the long file name in UNICODE. The details are in a document in the Windows NT 3.51 resource kit. The document states a belief that software will typically ignore entries with all the SHRA bits set. Maybe the MSDOS file system needs to do this until FReeBSD gets long file name support for FAT disks. Barry
