   I am trying to find the read only files on my DOS hard drive using the
   djgpp hosted version of find.  There does not appear to be anything in
   the info files about the DOS specific permission bits.  I've tried
   lots of combinations and suspect that the support for permissions
   (-perm) is broken.  Am I wrong?  Does anyknow know how permissions map
   in DOS?

I believe that what you seek is in the info pages for readdir, etc.  I think
that there is a global variable whose value specifies the flags.  I am not
home, so I cannot check now.  Look at the docs for readdir.
