RE: [h-e-w] Problems in buffer saving

[Ludwig, Mark]

At least on UNIX, there is a way to get Emacs to rewrite the updated contents 
back to the original inode.  I don't remember which option it was, but I think 
it was one that preserved the group ownership, if that helps.  I have no idea 
if this concept exists in the Windows code....
