I guess that I was not plain. The standard shell, sh, should not have
even attempted to execute a file that does not have the execute bit on.
But it does try to execute it despite the lack of the execute bit being
on. That is what is WRONG. I agree that the file should not have the
execute bit on. And the javac compiler generates it correctly, without
the execute bit.
Ah, now I see your point. And I agree with it.
Thanks for the extra clarification.
Kind regards,
