Michael,

This must mean that the read/write permissions on ROUTE.SYS (and or the
directory that it is in) do not allow modification by the user 'mcidas'.

>I made sure that the copy of

>/mcidasdata/mcidas.

If the write permissions on ROUTE.SYS and SYSKEY.TAB are correct, then the
/mcidasdata/mcidas directory must not have the permission to allow the
write.  The questions to answer are:

o who owns /mcidasdata/mcidas

  cd /mcidasdata
  ls -alt

o does /mcidasdata/mcidas have the execute permission for group set.  The
  permissions should look like:

  drwxrwxr-x ... mcidas


  I.e., the directory should have owner read/write/execute; group
  read/write/execute; and world read/execute

Check the directory permissions and then see if you can write to
/mcidasdata/mcidas as 'mcidas':

cd /mcidasdata/mcidas
touch xxx
