Re: May I want Octave to write files as '-rw-rw-rw-'?

Thank you, John,  for your prompt response. My apology for my late 
response.
It's because I tested several times. Now I have a question.

I tried umask (0) before opening the file. when I have Octave write a 
file using 'fopen', 'fprintf, and 'fclose', I can usually get the 
written file as '-rw-rw-rw-', not as '-rw-r--r--'. 

This is different from the behavior I expected. I expected that I 
would get the written file as '-rwxrwxrwx', not as '-rw-rw-rw-'. I 
wonder if the behavior I observed is normal on cygwin or linux? I 
would appreciate any comments.

Thank you.
