As an amphibious person, I would think of a way to do it in a cross-platform way, which is hard since Windows works differently. Yes, I have missed those file permissions, particularly simple things like 'executable?'. No such concept in Windows - it's executable in the command-line/shell if the extension is found in the PATHEXT variable. So the question is whether lfs should provide extra functionality on POSIX systems in this case. BTW, would be nice to have more general symlink functionality, since Windows has hard links and soft links to directories (called 'junctions') steve d. _______________________________________________ Kepler-Project mailing list Kepler-Project@lists.luaforge.net http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kepler-project http://www.keplerproject.org/
