I'm using Beppe Costagliola's SQL2JXL program, which is really cool.

However, it seems to have trouble removing the link for the temporary
stream file it creates to hold the SQL statement.

In his program, the following code creates the file:

// Open(Create) stream file

fd = open(%Addr(Filename)

: S_IRWXU + S_IROTH : 819);

If I understand correctly, from reading here at midrange and at Scott
Klement's excellent tutorial, S_IRWXU (aka number 448) gives read,
write, and execute authority to the object owner.

After the program threw an error trying to remove the link, I looked at
the authorities on the link, and my user profile appears to be the
owner, with the aforementioned data authorities, but the *object*
authorities are all blank for my user profile.

The public authorities, both object and data, appear to be fine. They
have read authority to the data, and ALL authority to the objects, so
the practical upshot is that anyone except me can remove this link.

What can I do to this thing to make it allow me to remove the link ?

Thanks
