The old file system completely ignored all the protection bits except for the D bit (for Deleteable files). FFS honors more bits. Files with the R bit off are not readable. Files with the E bit off are not executable. Do a LIST on the unexecutable object files. If they don't say R and E, then that is your problem. Use the PROTECT command to set the right bits. -- Joe Smith (408)922-6220 | SMTP: jms@tardis.tymnet.com or jms@gemini.tymnet.com BT Tymnet Tech Services | UUCP: ...!{ames,pyramid}!oliveb!tymix!tardis!jms PO Box 49019, MS-C41 | PDP-10 support: My car's license plate is "POPJ P," San Jose, CA 95161-9019 | humorous dislaimer: "My Amiga speaks for me."
