#N:ima:20400005:000:412 ima!johnl Apr 11 16:28:00 1983 Could somebody at the Labs tell us the name and number of the set-UID patent? Looking it up in the Patent Office Gazette takes forever. A copy of the patent certainly belongs in every machine room next to the "live free or die" Unix license. Thanks, as always, in advance.
