Recently, I spent time on the AT&T Hotline on a not unrelated topic
(StarLAN & UUCP).  When my problem was solved, I asked about grades in
AT&T BNU.  After a 30 minute search of the source code, the tech replied
that he could not find any mention of limiting grades as described above.

My assumption is that AT&T does not supply graded transfers in its
distribution UNIX. (What happens in the labs is another story :-)
