I am using emacs 21.2 on a windows system with the most recent cygwin RCS port. I want to use the emacs commands for dealing with RCS, but those are giving me weird results, so first I am just trying to use RCS from the command line and use emacs just as a text editor. I create a file called test2.cs and a subdirectory RCS. I opened a bash shell and did: ci test2.cs That asked me for the file description comments and otherwise seems to work as I expect. Then I do: co -l test2.cs This gets me a checked out and locked version of the file, with rw permissions (according to dired). But when I try to edit this file with emacs, it is opened as read only, even when it seems to be read/write according to dired. What is going on? Any comments would be useful. THanks! Ed
