MTS for one has them! I don't particularly understand it yet, but it
has them!
They all do, in ways that the kid probably just can't comprehend...so
he assumes they aren't there. MTS has user permissions that you can specify
when using the function to
modify the user database.
(If you're curious why I keep mentioning MTS...connect a tn3270 to
dev.gimme-sympathy.org port 3270.)
I smell a time sink! I'm not gonna do it! (right now)
