Re[2]: Permissions?

[Earnie Boyd <earnie_boyd at yahoo dot com>]

Add `ntea' to the list of values for the CYGWIN32 environment
variable.  `ntea' is for NT Extended Attributes.  CAUTION: If you have
this set for a FAT on NT then you will get an `EA DATA. SF' file that
will only grow larger.  Also, this `EA DATA. SF' file will be created
on a floppy.
