     Perhaps  someone  can answer this for me.  If I write the following
(note that I *wouldn't* write it except to highlight a problem!)  in  cc
on an Indigo it will actually *execute* without raising an error! 

>   strcpy("read-only", "zz01");

The assembler output from the compiler shows that the "read-only" string
is placed in the .rdata section (ie. it should be read-only data). 
However, I am allowed to gaily write over it.  

     Why is the read-only attribute ignored????

     This is on an Indigo at Irix 4.0.1.
