is a DOS-ism and the term may be sifferent in Linux. There must some
equivalent as folders listing on the M$ box show this file attribute (aka the
archive attribute) as either one or off, when viewing files in a folder via a
samba conenction. In this situation, files are being copied from a Linux box
running samba by a Windows box.
