Hi K-Bob,
It is here. So I would have to say it is normal. -- Regards, Bert Kinney [MS-MVP DTS] http://dts-l.org/ How to Configure Outlook Express for Internet News: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=171164 "K-Bob" wrote When clicking on to the Properties feature of the win386.swp file, should the "ARCHIVE" box be checked??

When clicking on to the Properties feature of the win386.swp file, should the "ARCHIVE" box be checked?? Why? This file attribute is merely a hangover from MS-DOS -- functional so far as it helped users simplify backup routines, but no one wants to back up a temporary swap file. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)

Yes. Win98/Win98SE rides on msdos, and uses such a based filesystem.
Attributes are part of the filesystem. There's no escaping that despite derogatory remarks from others regarding msdos. "K-Bob" wrote in message news When clicking on to the Properties feature of the win386.swp file, should the "ARCHIVE" box be checked??
