It should preserve the same permissions. The bak file produced is not changed if ispell is run on the file again. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature. -David -- David Neves, Computer Sciences Department, University of Wisconsin-Madison Usenet: {allegra,heurikon,ihnp4,seismo}!uwvax!neves Arpanet: neves@rsch.wisc.edu
