Hi all!
Evidently NOT Slackware specific but still...
A small collection (3K) of scanned pictures from films was burnt on CD
and transferred to another computer for leisurely captioning and so on.
Oh, sorry, I did not mention that for this I use a "tool" called Paint
Shop Pro under Windows98SE, as this emerged as the best for my purposes.
As they were JPGed I put the whole set on my Linux install chowned them
to myself, the -R switch, and could browse them in Gimp.
Now the story:
When browsing I found few of them in wrong position so (mea culpa!)
rebooted Windows and tried to rotate them in right direction.
But I cannot save them with the original name, the OS reports that the
file is "read only".
Now the question: When did the attributes got set?
Was it when burning to CD?
The original collection has no limits on manipulating those files and
saving with the same name.

Now the real querry: Any of you "old timers" recalls how to change
attributes under DOS on a whole collection of files? (-R?????)


Knowledgeable flames welcome.
