But this won't work on Win9x, which is what Kevin is using. It's a Cygwin problem, not an OpenDX problem, and it's described in the Cygwin FAQ entry "Why doesn't chmod work?". But I also see that the FAQ entry is incomplete, and I'll remedy that. (There are other things one can do.) But the details are probably off-topic for the opendx list.
