We all would like to set the rights of a file once in a while, don't we?
Now Apollo has some few more rights then others, so the normal stat(2) does
not work.
So what's wrong with looking in an Aegis Call reference to lookup anything that
has to do with 'acl'? 
I'll tell you: I wasn't able to find anything except for up/down in a protected
subsystem.

To me this is nothing more than a std-call I want to use. I can even do it on
a dirty of the self MS-BARF-IBM box, so why not under Aegis?

Well actually you can, but it's hidden somewhere in my documentation.
And I can't find it :-{. So who's going to help me.
Maybe in return I'll render something usefull for in the COPS package.

Thanx,
	Willem Jan.
PS: for those wanting to know more:
	try a 'strings -a /com/acl | grep acl'
    and you'll see what I mean with an obscured operating system. Lots of 
    calls nobody has ever heard about.
