I'm looking for some help with some unpublished system calls. I'm
trying to compile a list of the most useful ones for personal use.

So far I've managed to work out the following ones ;

name_$resolve
name_$drop
name_$add
name_$find_uid
asknode_$who
asknode_$who_internet
pm_$get_name
pm_$set_name
file_$read_lock_entryi
file_$read_lock_entryu

What I really need to complete my current 'project' is access to the
calls that convert a UID into a user name. I think these calls are used
in /COM/LUSR to convert information from asknode_$who[_internet]. The
two calls in question are ;

aclm_$t2sid  - probably ACL(UID) to SID
aclm_$sid2t  - probably SID to ACL(UID).

Of course I shouldn't really have to ask about these things if *someone*
would publish them. Any other calls discovered by people would be most useful
too - in particular stuff about RBAK and WBAK tape formats. I'd like to
*improve* the supplied version by adding an operator tape change alarm and
some other bits and pieces.
