Well, yes, the original files are on Unix, but, all my work is happening on a Windows server. I copy it over via SAMBA. But, I'm a network administrator with full rights on the server. Maybe the copying via SAMBA pulled over some weird permissions or something. I'll look into this further. Thanks again. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
