Some things to check: 1. what version of ant is being used? The version of ant might pre-date support for chmod
2. is ${REAL} set to the correct value? I just had a problem where a property was not set as expected. 3. try setting verbose="true" for chmod task and run again. --glenn --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
