Neither Windows nor zip files support permissions at all, correct? Thus neither one is a reason to mess with the permissions, right? As for the revision control systems: I'd like to learn about those that don't support permissions, because I am not aware of any and I'd like to avoid them in the future. Thanks for your help in this regard, Phillip! Klaus _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
