A little add-on to this: I just checked a -rwxr-x-r-x file, edited it
with
vi, and modified it a bit. After saving the file the original permissions
were gone and the file was at -rw-r--r--.
How can I change this (or restore the original permissions) at least a
_little_ on W9x? Really no way to just _keep_ the original permissions of a
file?
*Sigh*
