Afaik hidden and archive don't exist on Linux file systems.
I don't know about FAT or NTFS drives.

Hi,

I found follow:
http://mantis.freepascal.org/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=13431&history=1

This tell about a bug in V 2.2.5 in the FileGetAttr function. Does the
problem fixed? And where I can download fixed sysutils.pas?

A other question. Why does not exists AssignFile, Closefile, Rewrite,
Reset, ... in Sysutils in pure freepascal?

It is not related to your problem afaics. Plus it is "suspended" not
"fixed"
It think it's not possible to get the attributes you want on unix.

? They do exist. They are part of the system afaik. You don't need an
extra unit.
