yeah...i guess so.....but it just strikes me as a really 'expensive' solution to a
problem -- imo -- shouldn't really exists.  i guess i just don't understand why
'listspf' is such a restrictive command.  i don't think it can actually *do*
anything (say, like, spoolf), so why all the fuss?  when an ordinary user can see
all the users/jobs on the system (showjob) and can see all the files on the system
(listfile), then what's the big deal about seeing spoolfiles?

yeah yeah i know.....it's all water under the bridge at this
point.....<sigh>        - d
