RE: read-only files are now not read-only buffers
I noticed one detail that might be useful. When I edit a file
that looks like
the following from "ls -l":
-r--r--r-- 1 dmkarr None 248833 Nov 1 20:22 filename
then editing the file puts it into a read-only buffer, with "%%" in the
modeline.
However, if the "ls -l" output looks like this:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 dmkarr None 6763 Oct 27 12:25 filename
then it doesn't get a read-only buffer.
I expect this is a cygwin or windows bug or feature. You could try playing
around with CYGWIN=nontsec or something like that.
