chmod questions

- Subject: chmod questions
I have read various info regarding trying to make Cygwin's `chmod'
work as (I) expected, including the Cygwin FAQ and user guide.
I am using Windows 7 with an NTFS disk. My user and group are
defined as they should be AFAIK.
Two questions in this regard:
. is "chmod a-w" supposed to set the Windows Read-only attribute
on Windows 7?
. is "chmod a-w" supposed to cause "ls -l" to show -r-r-r on
Windows 7?
When I do `chmod a-w' it does not seem to have any effect. The
target file is still writable. Can someone please tell me what
I'm missing? Thx.
