A Archive Needed identifies files that have been modified since the
last backup. This attribute is assigned automatically.
Ci Copy Inhibit prevents Macintosh users from copying a file. This
attribute overrides Read and File Scan trustee rights.
Dc Do not Compress keeps data from being compressed. This
attribute overrides settings for automatic compression of files not
accessed within a specified number of days.
Di Delete Inhibit means that the directory or file cannot be deleted.
This attribute overrides the Erase trustee right.
To set up attributes and change owners for a directory or file, see the
following:
"Description of Directory and File Attributes" on page 31
"Changing Attributes of a Directory or File" on page 33
"Changing Attributes of a Directory or File" on page 33
For information on how to use Windows 95 to set directory or file attributes,
see Common Networking Tasks in
www.novell.com/documentation/).
Directory and file attributes assign properties to individual directories or files.
Some attributes are meaningful only when applied at the file level, but some
apply to both the directory and the file levels.
Be careful when assigning directory and file attributes. The attribute applies
to all users.
For example, if you assign the Delete Inhibit attribute to a file, no one,
including the owner of the file or the network administrator, can delete the file.
But any trustee with the Modify right can change the attribute to allow
deletion.
