I received a private message which I am uncomfortable to share here. It included a question about this. The point behind the comparison, while probably inappropriate as to its potential effects, was that read-only file permissions are a general safety device for programs like 'cp' or 'rsync' that work with files of all kinds. The mechanical switch in Goldsboro was located late in the arming sequence; field operators used other parts, designed for that purpose, to arm or disarm the weapon. It seems to me that Gnatmake should offer a more sophisticated method than file system permissions when working with its own files. In any event, the point here is moot because I intend to implement what policy demands. Thank you! Kind regards Felix Lechner
