   Error attempting to run 'between' script

   not on linux (or even modern winwhatever)... it is entirely possible that the   
   user that IREX is running as doesn't even have access to the directory... but   
   that means that IREX wouldn't run, either... so we look closer and it is   
   possible that the user doesn't have access to the between script because it   
   was written by another user and the permissions only allow that originator to   
   even see it... then, on linux, there's also an executable bit in the   
   permissions... one user may be able to see and edit a script but not execute   
   it... *nix doesn't use extensions or file majik to determine if a file is   
   executable... they use the bit and it is set for each of owner, group, and/or   
   everyone...
