Yes and the same is true for system attributes. There simply isn't a nice Linux equivalent. If a Linux file starts with a dot then the DOS in DOSEMU will see it as mangled and hidden but renaming a file upon setting an attribute would be a bit of a stretch. It also wouldn't work on Linux mounted FAT partitions. Archive bits are emulated through the Linux executable bit. Also a little funny but not a big deal.
