#16 Default permissions on Linux

[Josh More]

When you do a straight unzip of the natural docs archive,
many of the files contained within are set to world
writeable.
This is a security concern. I have corrected it on my
system,
but to prevent problems with other systems, it would be
a good
idea to tighten up the permissions.

Is it possible to set Unix permissions within a zip file, or
would I need to make tarballs?

I am unsure about behaviour on the windows side, but on my
linux system
the zip command preserves the existing file permissions.

OS: RedHat 9
Zip: Info-Zip (zip-2.3-16)

It is conceivable that a zip file made on a windows system
would handle
permissions differently.

Needs to be fixed. Also needs the execute property on the script so people don't have to add it manually.
