1. (UNIX) Fix problem in which the OPR:SPOOL.LOG file was created without access rights for other users in the group, which in turn caused spool requests by other users to be rejected without any error message. Problem now generates an appropriate error message and still spools the file (with the spooler messages going to the screen.) If your SPOOL.LOG already exists, you can fix by either erasing it or by setting the group write privilege bit (chmod g+w spool.log). Note that, consistent with other A-Shell file-access policies, write access is by default denied to users not in the "ashell" group. (Thus, you should make all your A-Shell users member of the same group, regardless of what that group is called.)
