Hi dj pen pals,
        I've been working through some examples of sed and awk and met an
odd problem.  I've typed the script file byState and executed with
        "sed -f nameState list | byState" 
but it gave
        :- bash e:/djgpp/bin: Permission denied (EACCES)
So I did the sed half "sed -f nameState list > junk" and that did what I'd
expect from the book.

        Next I did "byState < junk" with a similar error. Then I got smart
and "source byState < junk" and that did what I expected.

        Well yes I'm using bash in a win95 dos window can it be made more
unix like without going to linx or whatever?  "ls -l" gives:-
total 6
-rwxr-xr-x   1 dosuser  dos           222 Oct 25 20:35 byState*
-rw-r--r--   1 dosuser  dos           427 Oct 24 23:49 junk
-rw-r--r--   1 dosuser  dos           350 Oct 24 22:27 list
-rw-r--r--   1 dosuser  dos             0 Oct 25 21:14 ls
-rw-r--r--   1 dosuser  dos           930 Oct 25 21:13 mail
-rw-r--r--   1 dosuser  dos           108 Oct 24 23:45 nameState
-rw-r--r--   1 dosuser  dos           108 Oct 24 22:33 sedscr

	To me byState looks to have executable permissions, don't know how
it got them.  Do rwx have any significance in my context or should I add
.bat to the script file.  "Chmod a=wrx byState" does not seem to do anything
to any of the above files.

        Regards Ian.
