Note that if some one creates an executable file (compiles a program for example), the default action will be to make the file both readable and executable with a umask value of 022. Of course, `umask` defines the default--file permissions can always be changed with `chmod` if desired. HTH, and have a _great_ day! -- Ralph. N6BNO.
