So you have a file and want grant access to all to modify it, but only
the owner should be able to delete it?
This is difficult (if not impossible) to do, with current unix
permissions attributes (maybe acl will help in the future).

The fact is that for many windows progs to edit a file means: create a
new file, _delete_ the old one.
