Hi All,
I am experiencing a strange problem with files checked out from the Boost CVS. The files are checked out as read-only, and even if I remove the read-only flag (attrib -R afile.hpp), I am not able to modify them -- access denied.
Does this ring any bell or does it sound like some glitch related to my PC?
Are you using "cvs edit afile.hpp" ? That works for me.
No, I wasn't aware of this CVS command -- All the times I used CVS before files were writable by default... I'll try this as soon as I am at my PC.
If you want to make the files writable without using cvs, you're right that attrib -R isn't enough. You need to add a writable ACL to the file. Try:
cacls afile.hpp /E /G %USERNAME%:W
Thanks a lot! Regards, Arkadiy
