Windows doesn't have the Unix file system concept of execute permission, no. If a file has the .exe extension and the first 512 bytes look like an appropriate header (MZ etc), Windows will happily run it. With other extensions, similarly - just create a .bat file and double-click it, it'll run the commands. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
