Number: A2TH082090U374 Subject: Hidden Files Show Up With NDIR Command Date: September 27, 1990 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PROBLEM: A customer was having a strange problem. The DOS DIR command would not see any files in a directory but NDIR would. NDIR would show the files as having "SW" attributes. However, typing "FLAG *.* SRW" would produce a message "No files matching this parameter were found". Filer could not change the file attributes either. SOLUTION: Someone had used the HIDEFILE command by mistake, flagging all files as hidden. After running SHOWFILE (or FLAG with latest versions) and revealing the files, everything was back to normal. Remember that running NDIR will show all files including hidden files. (X) This information was verified in the lab.
