Hi Kelly, Thanks for taking a look at my suggestion. I wondered if there was some kind of policy prohibiting storing the execute bit, but didn't find anything in the documentation. So I decided to follow Polonius' advice: "By indirections, find directions out." Having a tool to police the current policies will be really useful once it is made available "outside the wall". I suppose that discussing modifications to these policies would be most productive once that has happened (providing it's not _too_ far in the future). Thanks also for the suggested workaround, Neil -- Unless stated above: IBM email: neil_richards at uk.ibm.com IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
