Ah, I knew there is a catch. People usually use a recursive copy so that permissions of executable files are preserved. Is there some other simple alternative to recreate a subtree from $WORKDIR to $D? doins -r would make all files 0644 or whatever the user wants them to be, but all files are with the same permissions. -- () Georgi Georgiev () A holding company is a thing where you () () [EMAIL PROTECTED] () hand an accomplice the goods while the () () +81(90)6266-1163 () policeman searches you.
