Re:For Corinna Executable bit in FAT
Hi Corina,
First thanx for ur reply....
I hv seen ur name at lots of places in CYGWIN world.
I am glad u took the trouble of answering my rather basic question.
But one thing....
I tried one thingds suggested on the net.
umount......
mount -x ..... .......
With this I could set executable bit to a file.
Do u think it is the right approach.
Because switiching to NTFS will take a heavy toll on my very limited time
frame
Kindly tell me wjat shud I do
