I've noticed that I am unable to write files with the Windows 'Hidden' attribute from vi and xemacs. If I use Windows to remove the Hidden attribute, I can write the file from vi; If I add the attribute back, I cannot write anymore (I get "Can't open file for writing" in vi). Interestingly, "touch hiddenfile" and "echo something >> hiddenfile" do work. "echo something > hiddenfile" does not; it prints "Permission denied". This has been tested on Cygwin 1.5.12 (see attached cygcheck.out) and the 20050716 snapshot (see attached cygcheck_20050716.out). Both show the same behavior. Is there any reason why a file should *not* be written to if it has the Hidden attribute? Thanks, -- Bryan Thrall FlightSafety International Bryan.Thrall@flightsafety.com
