[net.sources.bugs] ispell and read protected files

neves@ai.WISC.EDU (David M. Neves) (03/17/87)

If you run ispell on a read protected file it produces a file that is
readable by anyone.  It should preserve the same permissions.

The bak file produced is not changed if ispell is run on the file
again.  I don't know if this is a bug or a feature.
