      I've just learned a way to control the ownership of files
      generated in project directories by PCs.  Since several
      people had had difficulties with this lately, I'm led to
      believe that this technique is not common knowledge.

      If you attach to a project directory file service or share
      (PATHWORKS V5.n term) using the format:

                  \\server-name\service-name%username

      such as:

                  \\DEMON\PCSYSMGR%BAHN              

      You'll be asked for your OpenVMS password.  Thereafter, any
      files that you create from your PC will be owned by your
      account.  The file protection will still be:

                  S:RWED,O:RWED,G,W                  

      but, since you own the file, you can change the protections
      for access by others in the group using the OpenVMS command:

                   SET FILE/PROT=(G:RWED)
