I am aware of this. However, FAT32 and NTFS (through ntfs-3g) and even 
ExFAT (I do not remember now the name of the project) are supported by 
Linux, so there should be a way to alter file structure so as to change 
attributes even if the OS does not natively provide a function for this 
(why should a user working in Linux be forced to reboot in Windows not 
even to run an unported application but just to change file attributes 
in a filesystem the OS supports)?

Has anyone attempted it from D?
