Re: read-only files are now not read-only buffers

David> Last night I upgraded my Cygwin and XEmacs/Cygwin versions. I just noticed David> that there's now a problem with editing read-only files in XEmacs. When I edit David> a file that is read-only to me, the mode line isn't showing it to be read-only. David> I can enter characters into the file, but if I try to save the file, it (of David> course) gives me a "permission denied" error. Why is the buffer not read-only David> when I view it in XEmacs? 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. -- =================================================================== David M.
