        !             4: The file is set up with default settings for a standard
        !             5: UNIX distribution, however, there are some options that
        !             6: the local administrator might want to use.
        !             7: The file has comments to briefly describe the options;
        !             8: this section contains more details.

        !            25: must be used.
        !            26: In most cases, the uid can be obtained, but on some systems, when

        !            40: Define NONAP if you have no high-resolution sleep call.
        !            41: Standard UNIX does not have this high-resolution sleep, so this

        !            51: file.
        !            52: If you're not ATTSV, you can use a setgid program to read the
        !            53: number of free blocks and free inodes directly off the disk.
        !            54: If you
        !            55: choose this course, do not define NOUSTAT;
