What with all the discussions about shar, of late, I wonder if you shar
gurus can answer a question...
In a "standard" shar, are all calls to chmod made in the form
'chmod 0755 filename'
^^^^
where the permissions are specified with 4 digits?
Reason being, I unpack stuff on a DOS machine, and I'm using ms_sh and
the Picnix utils. Picnix chmod expects {-|+|=} {w|r|h|s}, and so fails
with a numeric call. The obvious solution is to write my own chmod, but
I need to check the standard before I do it. Perhaps someone could mail
me a SYSV man page for chmod.
Thanks in advance. When it's done, I'll be posting the program, likely
to comp.binaries.ibm.pc.
