I am using a classic DOS editor (EC), and DosBox doesn't clear the Archive attribute upon file edit. As a result, I cannot do incremental file backups. Any suggestions on how to "enable" the attribute to behave like MS-DOS? Suggestions welcome... /dave

Why would you expect editing a file to clear the archive bit? If that function is performed by your editing software then it's not the standard.
