Greetings:

I have a directory tree consisting of several thousand files and directories
nested quite deeply in many places.  I need to change the permissions of all
the files to 0644 and all of the directories to 0755.  I can't use chmod -R
*  because it won't give files and directories different permissions.  Any
suggestions?  Thanks.
