I wasn't sure if I should explicitly specify a mode, so I figured I'd just let the user's umask handle it. The first way that occurred to me was to do cp + chmod o+w. install -c -m 0644 hadn't occcurred to me because I automatically associated install with "make install". I'll revisit this after 5.0-DP1 is out the door. Gotta love all these different ways of doing things. Bruce.
