Just wanted to let those who have followed this thread
that I found the solution.
You were right, this is no Cygwin problem, but an
Emacs bug. It doesn't recognize correctly the "w"
right for RCS/CVS files.
The fix is to put
(setq vc-ignore-vc-files t)
in the .emacs file.
Thanks for your help l
Hi,
Actually initially the problem was I did not know
who's causing the problem: Cygwin, Emacs or CVS...
Now, well, it looks more like an Emacs problem. I'll
probably follow up to some group regarding Emacs.
Bye.
Axelle.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. But the problem I have does
not concern group ids, but user ids (or so I believe).
I have made the fix you suggested. Okay so now, my
group id is no longer "None" but "Administrators".
I have :
> ls -al
total 108
drwxr-xr-x 1 Administ Administ0 Feb 18 11:37
