Use hexadecimal when dealing with bit values. Better yet, use #define s for
all the possible bits and you don't even have to think about it.

#define FILE_NORMAL     0x00
#define FILE_ARCHIVE    0x10
#define FILE_SUBDIR     0x20

/* etc. */

Your compiler's dos.h defines most of these in one form or another. The
Microsoft line uses _A_NORMAL etc, Borland uses FA_NORMAL etc. In one form
or another, they'll be there.
