This routine was written for programs intended for use on remote systems
or any other system where access must be limited to a certain range of
user areas. A program calls restrict(*argv) and restrict will only return
if the user number contained in *argv (if any) is less than or equal to
MAXUSR. Of course this routine has no practical application in any file
NOT compiled by BDS C v1.50 or higher. It was specifically written for
BDS C v1.50, since it is the latest BDS C and the only one to allow user
area specification without special code.
