I have a little OS 9.1 droplet that I use on occasion to make a folder invisible. To get the folder visible again I have to use ResEdit however. Is there a way that I can make it visible again using the power of Unix and the simplicity of the Mac?

You can change the invisible flag from the terminal with SetFile. Type <font face = "courier"> man SetFile</font> to see how.

I use a little program called TinkerTool. I think this will do what you want it to do. It can be found at versiontracker.com.
