Re: Emacs and Read-Only Files

[Mark Elston <m.elston@advantest-ard.com>]

One other thing I noticed - when I look at the *Messages*
buffer I get the following messages:

   Note: file is write protected
   Loading semantic-c...done
   byte-code: Buffer is read-only: #<buffer abc.cpp>
   Loading semantic-edit...done
   Loading semanticdb-file...done
   Mark set

However, I commented out the loading of the cedet code (and the
ecb that requires it) and I still get the same issue.
