Tried the echo >> file too, and that worked. => So I can write over my file... Could it be that emacs is not launched under the correct user id ? (ie. emacs would not have the same rights as I). I tried the ps command : > ps PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND 476 1 476 476 con 500 13:30:18 /usr/bin/bash 1268 476 1268 1356 con 500 13:31:05 /usr/bin/tcsh 864 1268 864 864 con 500 13:31:13 /cygdrive/c/softs/emacs- 20.7/bin/emacs 976 1268 976 292 con 500 16:14:30 /usr/bin/ps And by the way, my emacs is version 20.7 (for Windows). I'm really stuck. Because I'm not sure this is an Emacs problem, or a CVS problem, or a Cygwin config. problem...
