See if this procedure does what you need. (note: I haven't tried to
compile it yet, but this should give you the basic idea)

Procedure ChangeAttribute;

var
  Attribute : word;
  FileToDelete : text;

begin
  {$I-}
    assign (FileToDelete,{* your_file_name_goes_here*});
    reset (FileToDelete);
  {$I+}

  getfattr (FileToDelete,Attribute);            {get current attributes}
  setfattr (FileToDelete,Attribute AND $3E);    {turn off ALL
attributes}

end;
