To be honest I don't give a fig about how the zipfile is created, the scripts and executables for Linux should come with the execute permission preset. It is a ridiculous irritation that after unzipping a supposed binary distribution, I then have to go and work out which files to make executable. If Windows cannot hack building a proper zipfile then a machine with a proper operating system should be used so that the zipfile is fit for its purpose. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
