Re: [boost] problem with modifying checked out files

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. 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 -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
