If it is a shell script, then you MUST have read permission in order to
execute it. (assuming "you" are not root. If you are root, you can read
it anyway) (Unless of course Unixware has changed the behaviour)
If it is a compiled program then you do not need read permission-- but
reading it would be a bit useless anyway.
