Greetings,

I am using gschem under Slackware Linux 14.2 (K4.4.301) and xfce4. My 
umask is set to 022 in my ~/.bash_profile.

I am having an annoying problem with gschem setting the backup file 
(*.sch~) to read-only, even for the owner (permissions 0444). When I do 
my system backup, which is a flat copy, not using tar, and I copy the 
gschem files to a blank USB Flash Disk, it works fine. But when I copy 
the next time's backups to that same Flash disk, attempting to overwrite 
some of the previous gschem backups, the copy fails because the previous 
backups on the Flash Disk are read-only. This is an extra annoyance when 
the backup is done by a script. No other application I use exhibits this 
problem.

Is there a way to change the gschem backup file permissions within 
gschem to at least read/write for the owner (0644)?

Thanks.
Girvin Herr
