No, not another security hole; attrib works the same as the
file-permissions (in my experience).  I didn't put it, but since you
are iterating over a list, you can flag files you can't modify.  Also,
you may want certain files to retain some of their other, 'default'
file permissions (attrib changes only what you put).  This is what I
meant about being careful about changing fps.  Excellent point,
though.
