One of the hassles in converting users and programs among
various versions of UNIX is the seemingly trivial difference
concerning the ability of mortals to chown their files.

v7 and 4.1bsd don't allow it.
UNIX 4.0 does.

What's your opinion.  We'd like to know.

Please send mail, not netnews.

	Thank you,
