If you use SCCS (or RCS) it is helpful if the editor honors the readonly status of files even if you are root. This is the primary way SCCS protects files that aren't supposed to be edited (because you need to do a "get -e" on it, or with RCS because they haven't been "checked out"). Would it be hard to fix gnu emacs so that it would work like that? -- rusty c. wright {ucbvax,ihnp4,akgua,hplabs,sdcsvax}!sdcarl!rusty
