- EA's might well be the problem. I booted DOS and ran Norton Utilities
- on the root directory to munge the names of the ". SF" files, and I was
- then able to change their attributes. You might also succeed with
- something like the CHMOD.EXE that comes with the GNU file utils, or with
- the built-in ATTRIB command of 4OS2 (haven't tried either of
- these--Norton under DOS works.) Nobody cares which AFC team will have
- the honor of losing to the NFC *this* year--the real superbowl will be
- between Washington and SF for the NFC championship. <grin>
