ChangeDirectoryEntry() - Delete Inhibit, Rename Inhibit

[Paul Kelley]

I have an NLM executing on a NW6.5 server that wants to change file
attributes on a text file.

The Current attributes are:
[Rw-A------------------]

I want to change the attributes to:
[Ro--------------------]

What I get (using the code snip below) is the following:
[Ro----------------DIRI]

where DI is "Delete Inhibit" and RI is "Rename Inhibit."

Why are the DI and RI attributes appearing? Is this a bug with the
ChangeDirectoryEntry() function that has just hung around for years?
Does anyone know how to keep the "DI" and "RI" attributes from appearing?
Thanks,
Paul

Its a longstanding feature of NetWare. Set Ro and you get RoDiRi. I'm not
aware of any way around this.
