See attributes, etc. in NTFS - search google?

hats,

You must be talking about attrib +h file.ext. Sure, been using it for years, just didn't understand from the way it was phrased.

What, Win has pipes, since when?

Since forever. You could pipe through | more a hundred years ago.

I learned recently that you can pipe through | find

I read that somewhere, haven't confirmed myself as I don't use their products.

There's a big difference between reading about things and having firsthand experience. Then there's definitions. "Derivative" means something was copied or adapted or forked from something else. PowerShell is its own beast. The example of man/help pages given in your link doesn't impress those of us who are old enough to remember the addition of help and /? in DOS. The formatting of the help documentation is style, but the substance of it precedes Windows.

If you want to discuss derivatives, we can start with the Unix environment which has been cloned with derivatives. Linux is a derivative of Unix. BASH is a derivative of the Bourne shell. Most commands and applications and GUI interfaces, including those used by Linux advocates, are derivatives of closed-source offerings. Can't open source come up with its own ideas?

Yes, you can use that program to change the attributes, but I did not mean that program specifically since you were wondering how hidden files were done in windows - which is via attributes in NTFS.

EDIT: Oh boy, now this is getting OT as well.

I remember that, kinda mean of you to suggest I don't.

Let's not get too OT either

Yes, it's true everyone copies from anything they've seen/heard/felt about, using what they think is best from it, but improving it with their own ideas. Open source is pretty much based on copying, so is science.

To me it's just a weird idea, to see the GUI beast copying a linux cli.
