Last January, AT&T Hot Line provided us a program that permitted the ulimit
to be raised without recompiling.  Our system is SVR2 on a 3B2/300 upgraded
to a 3B2/310.

This C program required creating a new /bin/login.

P.S.  I have nothing but praise for the Hot Line support staff!!!  They have
been kind, patient and persistent in solving any and all problems.
