To whom it may concern: Using windows NT - service pack 5. When you issue the command at the prompt > "chmod -v +rwxrwxrwx parse_c5" it comes back with "mode of parse_c5 changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)" but then when you issue the command st the prompt > "ls -ltr", you still see the results: "-rw-r--r-- 1 lmcsava Administ 1680 Aug 15 14:59 parse_c5" Let me know if you have further questions.
