Is the following true:
1. If a directory is *empty*, is there any reason for it to have an
   attrib file?
   
   Because in playing around with creating and deleting directory contents, I
   found that sometimes even after emptying directory contents, the
   subsequent incremental backups may sometimes still have (empty)
   attrib files.

2. If not, can I safely erase any (empty) attrib file that has no files
   associated with it?

3. Other than type=10 (delete), is there *any* reason for an attrib
   file to contain an entry for a file that is not present in the directory?

   Because, I have found some attrib files on my system in past backups that
   have file entries with type 0 (i.e *not* type 10) yet there is no
   file present in the directory.

4. If not, can I safely *remove* any non type=10 attrib entry if the
   corresponding file is not in the directory?

Thanks
