Well, unless the NEWGROUP and ALTGROUP commands have been improved since
last I heard, you CAN, and that's how some System and Account Manager's
eat up file space on the system with "orphaned" files in a group that
has lost or moved its "home".  So I typically I STORE them off, PURGE
them, then RESTORE them after the group has a new "HOME."

ALTGROUP needs a new parameter called ";ADOPT" to pick up and move those
orphans!
