argh. i tried to copy marble madness to my hard disk (i got interested in it
again for whatever reason after all these years). needless to say, it don't
like hard disks. and for my convenience, i cannot delete the file
c/MarbleMadness!.dat
it has protection hsp----- and protect marblemadness!.dat rwed or any other
form doesn't affect it. also, directly doing SetProtection("file", 0) doesn't
do it either. how can i get rid of this (173K) useless file without
reformatting my hard disk? (this is FFS on a Cltd system, if that happens
to mean anything). as i recall, there was something called DiskX from
steve tibbett, which allowed you to view the disk's structure (alas, i think
it worked only on floppies, and most likely understands only OFS). are there
any FFS-compatible disk editors that understand the disk structure (ie, will
let me directly modify a directory entry without me having to manually hunt
it down)?
