It may well be that it's only worth $0.00, but I had to do a lot
of programming to support ACLs on files and Rightslist modifications
recently in support of a new system we're developing. If anyone out
there needs to set or remove ACLs from files, modify the VMS Rights
database, or modify process rights lists, I'd like to save you the
grief and aggravation of trying to interpret the sometimes lousy
documentation. It's not a lot of code, but I'll postpone posting to
the net pending proper prompting from plenty of people :-). These are
the routines:
	add_group(identifier) - Add the specified identifier to the
				Rights database (sys$system:rightslist.dat)
	add_user_to_group(username,identifier) - Grant the identifier to
				the user in the Rights database and to all
				current processes belonging to user
	remove_user_from_group(username,identifier) - Inverse of previous
				routine
	remove_group(identifier) - Inverse of add_group
	grant_id_to_user(user,ident) - Grant the identifier to all current
				processes belonging to user.
	revoke_id_from_user(user,ident) - The inverse operation.
