I haven't got vi, but I tried a simple notepad under
Windows, and I modified my file without problem.

Okay I've set that environment variable.

If I try to create a file on Unix, then there's no
problem I can read & write it on Windows.
Uh... maybe there's a problem with Emacs detecting my
"CVS" file. I mean: the file is checked-out under Unix
for user "axelle" (Unix ID). Under Windows, I'm
another user - say "axl". It's still me of course, but
how can he know (and how to tell him)...

Yes I know, I've set ACLs on my CVS repository. But
the files I access do not have ACLs. I wouldn't think
this is a problem.

I can't see any difference.
Actually, I tried the following trick :
if I commit my file (under Unix) and do not touch it
under Unix, then I can read/write it on Emacs on
Windows. Whenever I touch the file on Unix, it gets
not writable on Windows. But there's absolutely no
change in my file permissions...
Really strange, no ?!

Yes, you're perfectly right. Actually, I forgot to
follow up my last answer to the group...
Axelle.
