fixing executables that lost the executable flag

[spirantho]

Not directly but you can do it with the list command. I can't remember the syntax exactly but :

Code: [Select]


LIST ALL LFORMAT "protect %f +e" >runme
execute runme


You may need a different parameter for the filename in list, but when you find the right one it'll work I think.

Of course it'll also mark all your data files as executable!

I wasn't aware that Protect had an ALL flag but it wouldn't surprise me.

I agree though - all preservation should be done with a proper archive tool, such as LhA or LZX. That's the only sure way to get everything stored properly.
