        One of my users (on a DU 3.2c machine) reports:

        According to the man page, I should be able to do the
        following:

        ps -e -o pid,user,group

        Unfortunately, I get the following error:

        ps: unknown variable in format: group

        I can get rgroup, rgid, and svgid, so most of the information is
        available; ps just seems to be missing something.

        Any ideas?

Thanks to Dr. Tom Blinn <tpb_at_zk3.dec.com>, who Used The Source and said
that it had definitely been removed on purpose, and to Peter Stern
<peter_at_wiscpa.weizmann.ac.il>, who says that it _does_ work in DU 4.0.
I think we've decided to live without it for now.
