    1=execute
    2=write
    4=read

    add together the ones you want to get the three-digit octal number to set permissions with chmod. i.e. ReadOnly=444, Read/Write=666, Read/Execute=555, write/execute=333

    the first number is for the file's owner. the second is for the file's group. the third is for everyone else (other). so to allow yourself all three and everyone else read/execute, type 'chmod 755 <filename>' (w/o quotes).
    Their code will be beautiful, even if their desks are buried in 3 feet of crap. - esr
