DESCRIPTION
       The   mkgroup  program  can be used to help configure your
       Windows system to be more UNIX-like by creating an initial
       /etc/group  substitute (some commands need this file) from
       your system information. It only works on NT. To initially
       set up your machine, you'd do something like this:

       $   mkdir /etc

       $   mkgroup -l > /etc/group

       Note  that  this information is static.  If you change the
       group information in your system, you'll need to  regener-
       ate the group file for it to have the new information.

       The   -d  and   -l  options allow you to specify where the
       information comes from, either the local  machine  or  the
       default (or given) domain.
