RE: Re: could not compile swarm on Win95 - PERMISSION DENIED

[Shai Ophir]

Thanks Parviez.
I did try to chmod the files, using the -R flag.
What I did was "chmod -R 777 *"
But after that, the "ls -l" command didn't show the change in the chmod!
I also tried with *.* and it didn't help. (?)
However I managed the problem by copy over the headers into a higher level 
directory (see my latest reply to Marcus.)
Thanks again,
Shai.

Sorry if this has been said before, but I've only been following this 
loosely, and some of the conversation seems to have been private.  

I had to chmod my files on windows -- what was useful for me was -R flag.
Have you tried chmod -R u+rwx *. This gives the user all permissions, and 
operates recursively through directories, so try to be as high up as you 
need. Since Win95 files stored on Unix machines seem to always default to 
rwx permissions, even for textfiles, this seems safe to do to non-swarm 
Win95 files, unless you have specific files you don't want written, etc.
