[comp.sys.amiga] Hidden AmigaDos files again

inb300campbe@qut.edu.au (11/16/90)

I have seen a disk released by one of those amiga hack groups where the file
structure had been modified such that a directory would not show up in a
directory listing but could be CD'd into.

Has anybody seen this and know how to do it?  It might be worthwhile
writing a program to do it automatically (if I can find out how).

Some hidden AmigaDOS files are actually saved as spaces.
Ex.- copy "    " to ram:
This is a file with 4 blank spaces as it's file name.

I don't know how Electronic Arts do it with their earlier stuff,
though.  (like Archon etc.)
