FIXPERMS!

This is an ALPHA version of the fixperms package.  (Use at your own
risk.)  Unless you sure of what you're doing, don't use this package.
Always have a root/boot floppy set ready.

Since this ALPHA version goes through numerous changes and additions, I
can't promise that the current version will be backwards compatible with
previous versions.  (This is at least until fixperms stablizes.) Also,
because fixperms is changing rapidly, I will only support the most
recent version of fixperms.

This distribution contains a man page, source, Makefile, SAMPLE fixperm
files (remember, these are SAMPLE files: you might want to take a good
look at them yourself before applying them), this README, the GNU
GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, and a couple of other files.

To compile and install type: make install

To compile only type: make

The included executable was compiled cleanly on my system with gcc/g++
2.4.5 and libs 4.4.1.

I switched to C++ compiler for the same reason Linus decided to change
to C++ for the kernel; stronger type casting, etc.  THIS SOURCE WILL NO
LONGER COMPILE WITH gcc!  I'm in the process of converting the code to
C++.  C++ (at least for me) is a lot more logical as far as code
organization.  (Despite the thread in c.o.l.d about g++ producing bad
code, I've NEVER had a problem and I almost exclusively program in C++!)
