... and moreover with the increasing adoption of ACL on unix and non-existence of uid/gid on Windows this is more an archaic curiosity so I don't think it makes sense to add it at this point.
It does however raise the question, "What is Hadley up to now?" :) Barry
setgid, at least, can be useful for non-root users who wish to share files with folks in a different group than is their default...

Aiming for the fortune file again, Barry?
Anyways, since it is not portable anyway, what was ever wrong with
system(sprintf("chown %s %s", foo, bar)
?

Yes, that is the point. I added Sys.chmod because R's own scripts needed something portable (both to Windows, and later in the handling of umask where POSIX allows some wiggle room). We've never needed chown/chgrp.
