The system I'm working on is REGULUS, a System III-derived (with some Sys6 & 7 "compatibility features"), and it is an AT&T-style system; i.e., you need to use 'newgrp' to take advantage of the group feature. I personally think that the BSD way is better, since it gives more functions, easier, but *tradition* seems to run the other way. **SIGH** -- Sam'l Bassett -- Semantic Engineering for fun & profit. 34 Oakland Ave., San Anselmo CA 94960; DDD: (415) 454-7282 UUCP: {hplabs,ptsfa,lll-crg}!well!samlb; Internet: samlb@well.uucp Compuserve: 71735,1776; WU Easylink ESL 6284-3034; MCI SBassett
