Yes, but I am not sure whether it was introduced in version 1, or later. While in many other aspects DOS was a castrated version of UNIX, I consider this particular point an improvement.
> Will Microsoft continue to us an archive bit in it forthcoming windows release, where the file system will be housed in a MSSQL database? A file system that is placed within an MSSQL database should provide a lot of possibilities.
No idea what will happen here.
