You can give permissions using either symbolic characters or octal. Since you're up for bit-fiddling, we'll use octal. Each octal digit represents three binary digits. Permissions are twelve bits in total. First digit: setuid (4), setgid (2), sticky (1) Second digit: owner read (4), owner write (2), owner execute (1) Third digit: group read (4), group write (2), group execute (1) Fourth digit: world read (4), world write (2), world execute (1) ls -l shows type and permissions of an entry in ten bytes. R read, W write, X execute; the first byte is the type of file being listed (d=directory, l=link and some others). If there is a dash in the first position, it's a regular file; a dash in other respective positions means the permission bit is off. The nine letters after the first are permissions for owner, group, world, in that order. Some special cases exist for the first set of permissions (setuid, setgid, sticky); don't worry about them for now. They're usually dangerous, and are sometimes called the "Naughty bits". So - -rwxr-xr-x means a regular file with read-write-execute for owner and read- execute for everyone else. (To represent naughty bits, the x in group or owner columns becomes an s for setuid and setgid or capital S for setuid and setgid when x is off, t for sticky in the world column when x is on or capital T when off. Clever, eh?) I think rwxr-xr-x is what you want. So do this: chmod 0755 AudioQuake-0.3.0.3_mac-binary.run And then run it: ./AudioQuake-0.3.0.3_mac-binary.run Cheers, Sabahattin - -- Sabahattin Gucukoglu <sebby<at>agrip<dot>org<dot>uk> Address harvesters, snag this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sound, QA, Misc.
