Dear Paul,

thanks for your reply, but this was not what I meant.

I have scripts that work fine on a full Linux platform (ext filesystem).
However, if I use those scipts (that use chmod +x), I get a lot of warnings.
Thing I dislike to see, and are confusing.

I was wondering wether I couldn't write something like

if [not on NTFS filesystem] then
  chmod +x

or

[on NTFS filesystem] || chmod +x ...

Best regards,

Francky
