Would some explain further the 4 number system? More exactly, the last
three numbers are clear, they are explained everywhere, but the first
one, refering to "special", is not explained anywhere that I know. I
will be happy to read about it. I imagine that the first digit has to
do with the "sticky bit", about which I wouldn't mind reading. It
seems that in most references that I have seen they don't talk about
it much.
Thank you all.
