I have the the following problem: in a directory mounted with -b -m, if =
I try to give execute permissions to a file, chmod dutifully reports =
success but the permissions remain unchanged. Here is an example:

:/usr/local/latex2html%ls -l latex2html
-rw-r--r--   1 500      everyone   167174 Jan 25 11:31 latex2html
:/usr/local/latex2html%chmod -c 755 latex2html
mode of latex2html changed to 0755 (rwxr-xr-x)
:/usr/local/latex2html%ls -l latex2html
-rw-r--r--   1 500      everyone   167174 Jan 25 11:31 latex2html

The interesting thing is, changes in read and write permissions are =
applied. What is going on here?

Regards
Karl

In Win32 you can't load 16bit dlls with LoadLibrary or LoadLibraryEx.
There is a way to do it though, The Windows 95 Resource Meter applet =
loads
a 16bit dll to call the free system resources function which does not
exist in Win32.  This is accomplished with Flat Thunks.
