22 `uaf.h' contains VMS uaf structure definitions. This is only needed if
23 you define READ_SYSUAF. This should only be done for single-user
24 systems where you are not overly concerned with security, since it
25 either requires that you install Emacs with SYSPRV or make SYSUAF.DAT
26 world readable. Otherwise, Emacs can determine information about the
27 current user, but no one else.
