That program does not exist on a standard NT installation. Setting the dired-chmod-program to to "attrib" does work just fine . Perhaps dired-aux.el an be patched for the next release? --- Jake Colman email: jcolman@jnc.com JNC Consulting Group Inc. Phone: (914) 368-2765 42 Olympia Lane FAX : (914) 368-2765 Monsey, NY 10952
