I know this is off topic, but I do not subscribe to any appropriate
newsgroups.

Just a simple question.  I have ditched all my old DOS manuals, and I
need the command/code to remove the 'read-only' attributes from some
files that have been copied from CD-R.

There is an ATTRIB DOS command but I do not remember the syntax.

Can anyone help - or suggest some other method that could be run as a
batch file.

Many thanks.

    Specifics snipped.

    You could do worse than retrieve the old DOS help-files and set
 them up somewhere (I keep mine in OLDMSDOS); then set a shortcut to
 them.  The information is a bit terse, but useable.  Remember that
 you need to have BASIC loaded to run the system.

In a dos window, type "attrib /?"

Using the windows explorer, select the file(s), then right click and
look at the properties.
