| This is odd, and I get errors when backing up my disk. Why would
an EXE ever be installed writable?

| ... if it had some global PSECTs that it wanted shared across all
processes on the system. But this makes no sense to me for
this image.

1272.4 | DECwindows V2 does it | QUARK::LIONEL | Free advice is worth every cent | Tue Aug 15 1989 09:15 | 13 |
| It IS installed writeable on my system (SSB V5.2, DW V2FT1). Here's
the commands from DECW$STARTUP.COM:
$! Install decwindows set display command parsing
$!
$ if f$file("sys$system:decw$setshodis.exe","known") -
then install replace sys$system:decw$setshodis.exe/priv=(CMEXEC)-
/writeable/share/header/open
$ if .not. f$file("sys$system:decw$setshodis.exe","known") -
then install create sys$system:decw$setshodis/open/share/header -
/priv=(CMEXEC)/writeable

| Looking at this closer, I suspect something wrong - the image has THREE
writeable global image sections. I don't see any purpose in even one.
I'll QAR it.

| This is a bug. We caught it shortly after FT shipped. There is no
workaround at the moment, short of waiting for a new decw$setshodis
image. The fix will appear in the T5.3 internal field test release.

| Well, I don't really need a workaround - just thought I'd
make sure someone knew about this weirdness.
