I'm using Windows 10, but I may in the future want to make a Linux version of
my program. I guess that's what the warning is about.. that fAHidden won't
detect hidden files on some operating systems?

what OS? some OSes do not have hidden attribute like DOS and winwhatever... for
example, on most *nix, they use dot files which are generally specifically not

the filename starts with a dot...
eg: .dirindex
