Re: EDOS - The file access byte is returned according to incorrect documentation.

Doesn't it just return the L/no-L value as all DFSs (exc. HDFS) do, so just testing for DFS (filesystem=4) is enough to flag this. It isn't an EDOS-specific issue?

EDOS has to be clever and returns &0A if locked (LW), &00 if unlocked (""). The nonzero access bits might throw a few people once in a blue moon. The real problem is when you set attributes -- it tests bits 1 and 3, so if you ask for &03 (RW) you get a Locked file. -- beardo 23:38, 14 September 2007 (BST)
