Hello Michael,

Download FOCUS.FLL and KERNEL.DLL from the File Section. The KERNEL.DLL should be placed in the system directory of Windows. FOCUS.FLL is to be placed in your application's directory. FOCUS.FLL contains lots of functions that are file oriented. You can use the FIL_setatt() function to assign agiven attribute to a file ... or you use directly the SetFileAttributes() function of the WIN32 API yourself.
