Thanks to you Dennis, and john for this suggestion.
The thing is that the file is command.com
I noticed at the computer help source indicates that there is a system
atrib option as well. granted I will check the options with my edition
of atrib, still it might work I have more than one hard drive, with more
than one copy of command.com for the same Dos edition.
As I write I have no idea how my machine is running, it rebooted by
accident and I barely got in again.
Staying with amazing friends, but I have no access to a monitor.
I have norton utilities 8.0, last edition for dos on a drive that seems
undamaged. so I hope I can make a rescue disc of some kind before too
much mayhem happens.
Thanks again,
Kare
