Fat fingers. -g means show ONLY group & suppress the owner. I knew that,
Casper knew that and told me so, I just messed up the summary. Please don't
think Casper is an Idiot. _I_ am the idiot.

Got a lot of mail saying. "Yeah, know how you feel!!!!"
There are two basic responses to this:
- use /usr/5bin in your path to get Gods Own ps/ls/cc etc behaviour.
- Grin, suffer, bear it & learn the One True SYS-V way, because that is the
best long-term strategy and (as someone pointed out) make converting to HP &
SGI so much easier! This was _doubly_ emphasised when it comes to compilers &
porting code. This seems to me to be the best way forward - painful now but
with long-term benefits.
Thanks all for your comments and sympathy.
