But I can not use the chmod command to change a file's attributes. Why? Your suggestion will be very helpful to me. Here is a test: drwxr-xr-x 3 500 everyone 0 Sep 1 15:05 . drwxr-xr-x 0 500 everyone 0 Jan 1 1970 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 500 everyone 3 Sep 2 09:42 a BASH.EXE-2.01$ chmod +x a BASH.EXE-2.01$ ls -al a -rw-r--r-- 1 500 everyone 3 Sep 2 09:42 a BASH.EXE-2.01$ chmod 777 a BASH.EXE-2.01$ ls -al total 1 drwxr-xr-x 3 500 everyone 0 Sep 1 15:05 . drwxr-xr-x 0 500 everyone 0 Jan 1 1970 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 500 everyone 3 Sep 2 09:42 a BASH.EXE-2.01$ - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
