Sorry -- been out of town for a few days...
The execute bits shouldn't be lost when you tar up a file....look at this
output--the executable bit is still set: (using gnu tar --- anybody know
if the other versions of UNIX tar behave any differently?)

That would be nice. I will have to look over the changes again.

It does, but it is dependent on executing the `chmod` program. We use it
