[win32] Read Only Remover

i have written a pure win32 based program to remove the read only (or other
flags) attributes from all files in any directory. it allows the user to browse
for a directory and then reset all of the flags on any given file mask.

i have posted the full code (both exw and prj) and a screen shot here:

i would appreciate it if a few users take a look at it and try to break it. i
have tested it on Win95 and Win NT. it should work on any Windows platform. while
tested, I'm sure it's not perfect. don't use it on the only copy of your novel.
feedback appreciated. if enough people find it useful I'll post it to the
archives.

many thanks to Derek Parnell, David Cuny, Matthew Lewis, Judith Evans, Thomas
Parslow, Al Getz,  Wolfgang Fritz and Ad Rienks. Apologies if i left anybody out.

If we are alone in the universe, it seems like an awful waste of space.
