File is read-only

[Christian Brudevoll]

I've tried to send this from emacs, but don't know if that works.

To: bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org
Subject: File is read-only
--text follows this line--

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
 not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

In GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (hppa1.1-hp-hpux11.00, X toolkit)
 of Tue Nov 14 2000 on disco
configured using `configure  --verbose --host=hppa1.1-hp-hpux11.00
--target=hppa1.1-hp-hpux11.00'

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

We have a script with owner- and group-permissions are rwx.
Since I'm member of the group, I'm allowed to edit it, e.g. in Unix.
But when I open it in emacs, it's read-only.

File:
(hvgdbs2)chrisb:/opt/prod/obi/src/misc/dbsysinfo# ls -l locks_users.pl
-rwxrwxr--   1 prod       obi           2738 Oct 13 11:05
locks_users.pl*

'Editing' in unix:
(hvgdbs2)chrisb:/opt/prod/obi/src/misc/dbsysinfo# wc -l locks_users.pl  
110 locks_users.pl
(hvgdbs2)chrisb:/opt/prod/obi/src/misc/dbsysinfo# echo >> locks_users.pl
(hvgdbs2)chrisb:/opt/prod/obi/src/misc/dbsysinfo# wc -l locks_users.pl  
111 locks_users.pl
