Very Computer

 is there anyone out there using MicroEMACS 3.11B?  if so, do you know
anything about a bug that causes it to overwrite the permissions on a
file when re-saving it?  (i.e. if im editing a file with permissions
rwxrwxrw- when i save it the permissions get set to those in my umask,
which are rw-rw-r--).  it's very annoying, whatever's causing it.
please help.

set $ssave false

in your .emacsrc-file. This should fix the problem.

in your .emacsrc file (or whatever you have called it).

When SSAVE is true emacs tries to save your file by renaming the old
one and creating a new file.  Setting $ssave to false stops this.

the code has to be moded to get it to work properly if you require a
`safe save` (like i do)
