Windows 95/98/Me doesn't have the security settings that Linux has.
Windows NT/2000/XP doesn't either, but the security is a whole lot better
than 95/98/Me...

In other words, your script running on Win98 does not need to be chmod'ed
since there is no such thing as permissions in the FAT32 file system.
Almost every file on a Windows system is 775'd (777 in some cases where
someone has decided to share their C drive with Full Control to everyone
via NetBIOS on a LAN...).

Hope this helps!
