It was theoretically Adam, as he normally used his father's login until
much later when he got his own (on Brian Redman's machine, I think.)
However, I think this sjb rmgroup stuff was a badly done forgery.
I am not sure - it's been a long time, and it might have been an
error on Adam's part. It certainly was not Sol Buchsbaum, he's
a high level manager, not an avid technical computer person.
