That's what I feared, thanks ;-) So Richard meant to modify the
C function, okey.
Here's what I sent you before, but it bounced because the address
in your message is not the real one.
Part of this package would be good to install. I don't see a need for
the special feature for changing the current file's modes on the next
save. Why wait for that?
I would like a function to set the modes of a file--what you've called
chmod, but I think it should be called set-file-modes.
There IS a function called set-file-modes. It is not interactive. My
idea is to rename that to set-file-modes-internal, and use your chmod
command under the name set-file-modes. It should accept a numeric
mode argument too; that way, existing callers will still work. It
would use file-modes-to-number.
Would you like to work on such a patch?
Have we got legal papers from you for Emacs?
(defvar file-modes 0
"File modes of the file visited in the current buffer. Do not
rely on this variable to know current file modes, use `buffer-file-modes'
instead.")
Please note the rule that the first line of a doc string must always
stand on its own.
