Hi All, I'm using the xemacs comes with Cygwin on WindowXP for file editing, but it has a problem with file mode:
My original file (test.php) has the following mode using "ls -l": -rwx------+ ............................. test.php after I edit it with xemacs, it generated a file called test.php~, which is like an exact copy of the old file, but the original file mode changed, "ls -l" showed: -rwx--------- .............................. test.php -rwx---------+ .............................. test.php~ Now I have some questions: 1. What is the '+' in the file mode? I know it has something to do with file permission, after the editing, my web server/PHP does not have permission to open test.php anymore 2. How do I set the '+' in mode manually? I used 'fstat' on the two files and it shows the exact same mode (o100700). 3. Why xemacs changed the file mode? Could it be because of different file system? Thanks for any help.
