Mr Manners reminds the Gentle Poster that, given a choice between 
undeservedly flaming MS or deservedly the topic of this newsgroup, the 
original poster chose to make a joke of the dilemma...

Back on subject, MS didn't write File.chmod(). CygWin's chmod system 
apparently covers this by leaping into the NTFS Access Control Lists. I'm 
not claiming Ruby should bother; I just accidentally thought it was having 
trouble with the read-only bit.
