Hey, lookit that... My mode is now 40777, just as I would figure :-)
Thanks!
The real problem still remains, however; if it's not writable for all,
then I need to see whether or not its writable, and preferably without
checking the making of a temp file or digging into UID/GID and group
membership and so on...
Thanks & TIA for more & HAND
