There have been some subtle differences between the behaviour on unix/beos on one hand and dos/windows on the other.
Therefore the behaviour on unix/beos has been changed to make the rtl more uniform across platforms. This concerns FindFirst/FindNext and Set/GetFAttr. * In unix/beos all files have pretended to have the ARCHIVE attribut. This is not so anymore. * FindFirst/FindNext now, regarless of the Attr parameter, always returns all "normal files" (plus those given by Attr). As normal files counts files with no attribute, with ARCHIVE set, with READONLY set or with ARCHIVE and READONLY set. That is those file most people would count as normal. If you really need to get e g only writable files, you have to test the files returned by FindFirst/FindNext, by using GetFAttr. * FindFirst/FindNext now, also filters on the HIDDEN attr (GetFAttr has always returned HIDDEN, so this makes GetFAttr conformant with FindFirst). Note that in unix/beos files are regarded as hidden if their name starts with a period (.). Note also that no arribute can be set by SetFAttr on unix/beos.
