Subj: Additional discussion on USAGE, Version 2.005 dtd 20-FEB-79

    USAGE V2.005 is only a patch-Update to USAGE V2.004, but a lot has been
learned.  The insight is mainly to LOGIN.SAV.  The problem this time is the
'Protection Code' assigned to the E*T*O*S file ACCTIM?.???.  ETOS V5's LOGIN.SAV
assigned these files a protection code of <25>.  This resulted in USAGE having
to Privilidge itself to read the ACCTIM?.??? file.  To make USAGE more universal,
I corrected this to Zero.  Daniel Yagusic commented that this allowed anyone
to zap the information and recommented a <52>, write-locking the file to
everyone.  PROBLEM...This also write-locks the file to LOGIN.SAV, and it's
attempts to write usage result in an error, and NO update.  Compromise
Solution....Set protection code to <0050> until some other combination can
be found.
