\..., the modes are interpreted upside down.  That is, this script
\assumes:
\
\   $ umask -o
\   022
\   $ umask -s
\   u=,g=w,o=w

The abovementioned claim is false.  I have umask 022; when I type `mask -s'
(using version 1), I get:

	echo u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx

[sic]
Anyway, thanks for your corrections/extensions.
