I haven't got vi, but I tried a simple notepad under Windows, and I modified my file without problem. > Yes, this is an environment variable that can be set > either in the > workstation properties dialog, or in th ecygwin.bat > script (but not after: > it must be set BEFORE the first cygwin program > starts).

Uh... maybe there's a problem with Emacs detecting my "CVS" file. I mean: the file is checked-out under Unix for user "axelle" (Unix ID). Under Windows, I'm another user - say "axl".

I can't see any difference. Actually, I tried the following trick : if I commit my file (under Unix) and do not touch it under Unix, then I can read/write it on Emacs on Windows. Whenever I touch the file on Unix, it gets not writable on Windows. But there's absolutely no change in my file permissions...

Actually, I forgot to follow up my last answer to the group... Axelle. ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !
