				ABSTRACT


ATTRIB displays, sets, and resets MS-DOS file attributes of individual
files or groups  of files.  Using ATTRIB, you can display the names of
hidden  and  system  files,   protect  files  against  alteration  and
deletion, make files invisible to  ordinary  directory  searches,  and
force files to be backed up  or  not  backed  up by incremental backup
utilities.
