Olaf,
Do you mean what is the difference?
executeable= a file that is executeable, i.e. you can execute it
(usually a binary file but it can be a shell script).
!executeable= a file that is NOT executeable, i.e. you can NOT execute
it. (In UNIX, and in particular when we do any kind of scripting, the
"!" symbolizes a statement of negation. Therefore it means "not" Hope
this clarification makes sense to you...
