the
same
invocation of the NAME command.
The
inherent
attributes
or
a
Tile
that
define its
physical format on the diskette (contiguous allocation,
space
compression:
memoT'y-im.3ge;
etc.)
cannot be changed.
These
attributes remain with
a
file Trom
the
time
it
is
created
until
the
time
it
is
deletedi
however,
the
protection
attributes and the system attribute can
be
changed
at
any
time.
The
protection
attributes
or
a
rile
are changed by
specirying the letter
"X"
{remove protection)1
tfW"
(set wi'ite
protection),
OT'
"D" (set delete protection)

rield.

speciFying
the
letter
"S"

or
"Nil
(remove system
attribute).

The option letters are processed from
left to -right.
For example,
if a file Ulith write
protection
set is to have only delete protection set,
the command
line
NAME TESTPROGi XD
could be used.
If
the
"X"
and
tiD"
options were reversed,
the
file would be unpT'otected.
If no <name
2~
is speciried,
then
an
<options>
field
must
be present.
In such cases,
the -Family indicator can be
used ror both the file name
and
the
su-Ffix
or
(name
1).
Thus,
a
diskette
can
have
all
o-F its files protected or
unprotected with a single invocation o-F the
NAME
command.
