Using external tools KILLS permissions of ASCII files


Hi,

this is a very serious problem. I'm working with apache and it works great.
But there are also CGI files involved.When working with them, I edit them
with Macromedia Dreamweaver. After saving with Dreamweaver, my permissions
are GONE and the file is inaccessible on the browser via '/cgi-bin/'!! NOTE:
this happens with both invoking DW from within Cygwin and by Windows
Explorer.
I'm using Win98SE so I cannot use ntsec.

The only way out seems to be sticking to Cygwin tools _only_ for editing,
even 'vi' if you insist.
But that's would be a bad compromise...

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Andreas
