Hi,
	I often have the case where I want to open up an area of a
directory to group access.  However I am using SCCS and have many files
that should remain read only.  A mindless

	chmod -R g+w .

	Trashes the sanctity of SCCS by making some things group writable
while they aren't user writable.

	How can I cleanly execute this command?

	awk/sed/sh/find (or whatever) accepted

	Please no PERL or CSH.

	SunOS4.1 (but please don't make it specific to that platform)
