I'm wondering if this is a bug: I tried to play around with the texmfstart script, but couldn't get it to work. I think the latest cont-tmf.zip installs those files with wrong permissions. Here's what I got: -rw-r--r-- 1 tas 15k Jan 6 13:41 concheck.rb -rw-r--r-- 1 tas 25k Jan 28 09:28 ctxtools.rb drwxr-xr-x 3 tas 102 Feb 6 21:00 exa -rw-r--r-- 1 tas 21k Dec 20 21:31 texmfstart.rb -rw-r--r-- 1 tas 6.5k Jun 14 2004 texsync.rb -rw-r--r-- 1 tas 23k Oct 15 19:15 textools.rb -rw-r--r-- 1 tas 13k Oct 27 18:27 xmltools.rb drwxr-xr-x 3 tas 102 Feb 6 21:00 xmpl same is true for scripts/perl/ Shouldn't they all have permission 755?
