Subject: symbolic links overwritten in Emacs 21 for Mac OS X
Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2003 04:38:03 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <LGqV9.574495$GR5.368651@rwcrnsc51.ops.asp.att.net> (raw)
Symptoms:
I edit a file I referred to by a path that was a symbolic link, e.g.
~/TEMP, when ~/TEMP is a symbolic link to ~/STUFF/TEMP.
I save the file.
~/TEMP is no longer a symbolic link; it contains the changes I made, but
~/STUFF/TEMP does not.
___________
The real file should be edited and the symbolic link left alone.
This happens with the double-clickable Emacs 21 for Mac OS X on Mac OS
10.2.3, but not for /usr/bin/Emacs -nw executed from the terminal,
though both claim to be "21.3.50.6 of 2002-11-27 on Bluey.local" and
configured --without-x and prefix=/usr.
