I didn't check to see if DOS had a chmod command, if it doesn't, the
code I posted won't work.
I don't think it does because neither FAT16 nor NTFS support have any
conception of a file mode other than read-only, so there's no "mod" to "ch".
In my fantasy world MS would recognize that they're the last major
holdout in a world of Unix-based OSes, and provide some sort of glue for
compatibly writing to non-NTFS drives.
But in that fantasy world MS doesn't hold a majority marketshare either,
which in the real world provides them the momentary luxury of assuming
they don't need to play nice with the standards that drive the rest of
the world. :)

I'm writing an installer and would like to give our customers the
option of installing both Mac and Win versions on a portable drive,
such as a USB flash drive.
I can store the app bundle parts in custom props and spit them back
out as needed, no prob. The issue is that the Mac executable within
the bundle needs to have its Unix permissions set to executable,
something that AFAIK can't be done from within Windows.
As a workaround based on an earlier related discussion here, I'm
considering storing a zipped copy of the Mac app bundle, and
spitting that zip file out with an instruction for the user to unzip
it on OS X before running it there.
But that's a lot of hassle for them and many users will just get
confused.
It'd be much nicer to be able to spit out a working Mac app bundle -
but how can I do that from Windows?
