:	Well, not the protection bits, just the naughty bits.

:	I was playing with IconX and noticed everytime I edited the script
:file, Z clobbered the s bit (script). Z might be trashing the rest too
:although I have not checked yet. (Hope to hell not the archive bit!)

:	Anyway, Manx Z may not be the only program to do this.
