I've heard that somewhere in the depths of the ST file system there is a 1-bit flag for each file on a device which can be used by backup programs (i.e., backup programs set it when they backup a file, and writing the file unsets it). Is this true, and if so, where is it? My current guess from reading the crufty Abacus docs is one of the high order bits in the file mode byte. Thanks in advance... -- Rene P.S.
