[GRASS-user] access to old mapset after reinstall of operating system and grass version

[Nick Cahill]

Do you have permissions for all the files within the location  and  
PERMANENT directories? If you change permissions with the "Get Info"  
window, it doesn't necessarily change the permissions of files within  
a folder.

There's a useful little free program called "BatChmod" that puts a Mac  
gui on chmod - it's at

renaud at mac.com
