Thanks for the report. But for MS-Windows problems it would be most appreciated if you contacted the Cygwin folks directly. That platform is not well understood here. > **$ chmod +x test > > **$ ls -l > total 1 > drwxr-xr-x 2 Administ None 0 Sep 30 20:13 grass.src > -rw-r--r-- 1 Administ None 2 Jan 10 09:21 test > > the chmod did NOT make the file executable. wonder why? i have tried > other permutations and combinations, but to no avail. Does MS-Windows even have the concept of file modes? I thought they handled all of that with file extensions? I assume that in order to map capabilities that Cygwin would need to make some compromises.
