While playing with the deleting the .exe suffix, I employed chmod 777
as illustrated to a file formerly known as input.exe, but now
renamed to 'input.' It executes, but ls -l reveals:
bash$ chmod -v 777 input.
mode of input. changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)
bash$ ls -l
total 186

So what gives here? As I mentioned, the executable executes, but
'ls -l' doesn't hint that it can.
hmmm?
