Subject: .cmd files not flagged as executable on NT

Hello all,

This issue is mentioned in brief on the FAQ but does not specifically
address .cmd files.  Actually my concern is the converse of the question:

"Why do some files, which are not executables have the 'x' type."

It seems that .exe files and .bat files are marked 'x', but .cmd files are
not.  I can understand that you really wouldn't want .cmd files to be
marked executable if you were on Win95/98, since I don't think cmd.exe
exists on those platforms.

As a compromise, until a better solution can be approximated, I suggest
that the FAQ be augmented to read something like this:


Q: "Why do some files, which are not executables have the 'x' type, and
some that should, don't?"

A: "When working out the unix-style attribute bits on a file, the library
has to fill out some information not provided by the WIN32 API.

It guesses that files ending in .exe and .bat are executable, as are ones
which have a "#!" as their first characters.  Files that end in .cmd are
not currently guessed to be executable, since this could be wrong on
Windows 95/98."


Thanks,
Paul Murphy
