Remember that Wine is a Unix application and must communicate with the operating system using Unix system calls - even if the underlying filesystem is FAT. Unix does not have the "Archive", "System", "Readonly" or "Hidden" flags so Wine cannot have them either.
Actually, Wine sets the Readonly flag if the file permissions would prevent the current user from writing to the file, and the Archive bit is always set, but all other flags are clear.
I would argue that we should set "Hidden" if and only if the filename starts with '.'
What where the "Archive" and "System" bits used for?
