The old CVS used to store the executable flag on the file itself.  NT 
has no such flag, so it loses all that information - this is 
unfortunately unavoidable.

If you set the flag under Linux and commit a new revision CVSNT stores 
this information in the RCS file so it'll keep it (at least until 
someone commits from an NT machine).
