Hmm, there's a flaw in the description. The same would also occur with
DELETE set in the ACE.
But still, it's more correct, isn't it.
Surprise, surprise. I've just tried to delete a file in Explorer with
the DELETE bit unset and there's *no* difference in behaviour at all.
The only interesting bit is the old FAT R/O attribute :-(((
