: Set the Read-Only attribute bit. This bit is used to make a file

: few files with the Read-only attribute and delete all the files using a
"DEL

: normal circumstances. Certain files in the Win95/98 system are kept as
: Read-only by default (e.g., the system registry files). Before you can
: delete or overwrite a Read-only file, you must remove the Read-only file
: attribute bit.

: Windows 95/98 provide a system utility program, ATTRIB.EXE which is usually
: stored in the C:\Windows\command\ directory. Open a MS-DOS window and type
: "attrib /?' to get the help file.
:
: C:> attrib /?
: Displays or changes file attributes.

: ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [[drive:][path]filename]
[/S]
:
: + Sets an attribute.
: - Clears an attribute.
: R Read-only file attribute.
: A Archive file attribute.
: S System file attribute.
: H Hidden file attribute.
: /S Processes files in all directories in the specified path.
:
: However, please note that if the file is in use or needs to be written to
by
: Windows, then the read-only setting will hamper the operation and a warning
: message will be issued.
