strange, whats the thing with the read only? if this is what you get when you check out a file then the "cvs watch on <file>" was set on the file. this means, that before you start editing a file you must run "cvs edit <file>" and the file will be set +write. you edit, save, commit. if you changed your mind before commit and want to return to the original file, just "cvs unedit <file>". anyway, if you had enough with the read only you can do "cvs watch off <dir>" on your directory because it could be the default policy for adding files. please note, that if your are not alone in this cvs repository, you will have to continue with the "cvs edit" "unedit" thing. good luck.
