do they now have execute perms set? they should not, but generally all files
on a dos/win filesystem, be it a dos floppy or a networked w98 box, are viewed
as having execute bits set because there is no such flag in FAT/FAT32/MS-DOS
and it either has to be assumed on or off. (you could use options to the mount
command to change this in the case of actually mounting a FS like a floppy or
CD)

It's about the same as the way all files copied from a CD to a DOS machine
come over with their read-only bit set, even though once off the CD that no
longer applies.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
