Somewhat of a riddle, but I am sure someone on the list knows the
answer.

List user shows the User capability
of:AM,OP,CV,UV,CS,ND,SF,BA,IA,MR,DS,PH

When I call the WHO intrinsic is returns the following bit map:
01000111000001110000000110001011

The application program I am writing test for bit 0:1, and 1:1, to
allow only
System Managers full access, and Account Managers limited access, and
denies access to all others.

It all works great, until I run GOD. When God is executed prior to
running my program,
then WHO returns the following bit map:
00000000000000010000000000000001

Does anyone have some additional insight to what Vesoft is doing to the
capability bit map. I know I can change the program
logic to test for a capability bitmap equal too
'00000000000000010000000000000001', but that seems illogical.
What (more logical) condition can be tested to know if GOD has been
executed?
