The problem is, java only supports a File.setReadOnly()  method.
Even this on Win2000 is unreliable.

There is no File.allowWritePermission() and  File.allowReadPermission() in
Java unfortunately.


A true  fully functioning <chmod> task  would probably make system calls for
adding read/write permission.

Does anyone know a task for changing a file permission in Win32, like
the 'chmod' task does in Unix?  I need to change a read-write file to a
read-only.
