+  On MS-DOS, there is no such thing as an ``executable'' file mode bit.
+So Emacs considers a file executable if its name ends in one of the
+standard executable extensions, such as @file{.com}, @file{.bat},
+@file{.exe}, and some others.  Files that begin with the Unix-standard
+@samp{#!} signature, such as shell and Perl scripts, are also considered
+as executable files.  This is reflected in the values returned by
+@code{file-modes} and @code{file-attributes}.  Directories are also
+reported with executable bit set, for compatibility with Unix.

 interactive call, that means to create the parent directories first,
