Info chmod ist not explicite, and "chmod --help" no more, therefore:

 How can one use chmod to set/remove the "hidden" "system reserved"
"archive" "read only" arributes of file? This is compulsorily needed
under Win NT when a faulty file (esp. due tu virusses) is locked as
"system busy" at bootstart (with NT there is no possible emergency
access with native MS-DOS)?

If there is none, is there a C routine/subroutine abel to chenge these
specific Windows/DOS attributes?

Thanks.
