I have read various info regarding trying to make Cygwin's `chmod'
work as (I) expected, including the Cygwin FAQ and user guide.
I am using Windows 7 with an NTFS disk.  My user and group are
defined as they should be AFAIK.

Two questions in this regard:

 . is "chmod a-w" supposed to set the Windows Read-only attribute
   on Windows 7?

 . is "chmod a-w" supposed to cause "ls -l" to show -r-r-r on
   Windows 7?

When I do `chmod a-w' it does not seem to have any effect.  The
target file is still writable.  Can someone please tell me what
I'm missing?  Thx.
