Louis McDonald asks about a disk quota system for the Apollos.  The only
one I've seen in Christa Decker's "Guerrilla Approach for Disk Space
Limitation" (or some very similar title).  It should appear in the ADUS
Free Software Library.  It actually fails to prohibit excessive usage of
the disk, but if a quota is exceeded overnight, the user is restricted
to deletion rights until he or she gets back under quota.  It is a fantastic
kludge, but bizarre enough that Christa was able to use it in a teaching &
research lab at Bucknell for several years.
