Not e.g., if you don't have permissions to write where you intended. You now are in the perilous state of have a lot of code typed and not saved and waiting for you to figure out where you now would like to instead save it, whereupon the phone rings, your ride arrives, and before your return the janitor has unplugged the computer, etc., and you don't know the vi-recover procedure, etc. All of which could have been avoided if we knew we didn't own the land before we started building our house. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
