[comp.sys.apple] Prodos access bits

(This in reply to Cary Farrier's response)

Sorry, the most recent documentation I have (the ProDos-16 REference)
says there is only one byte of access control information, and that bits
4-2 are reserved; those are the ones I'm talking about.  I gather now
that the Finder has found a use for bit 2, which is why some (but not
all) of the FINDER.xxx files have it set.  I assume the ones in which it
is set are the ones created and/or modified after I installed some level
of GS/OS.

But, that still leaves the question of how the other bits are being set.
