=emacs (which runs under X) has an efficient interface to RCS.  i
=recommend it highly.  if you are using RCS you are probably editing
=files. with emacs you have your version control integrated nicely with
=your editing.  

Oh, yes! And I find it greatly annoying, BTW. Can someone tell me
how to turn this "feature" off? Here is what happens. I check out
a file on my FreeBSD machine. My colleague works with Emacs on NT
(shame on him, but what can I do?). As we know, NT does not have
``rcs'', but Emacs thinks it is smarter then it's users (true for
many cases). So, it sees the RCS subdirectory next to the file my
colleague wants to edit, and insists on the file being either
read-only, or wants to check-it out (which fails due to the lack
of rcs).

How do I make it write to the file, damn it?! Unix permissions are
just fine, what is it's problem?!?

TIA,
