I like and use many Unix tools because they do the job; quickly and efficiently. Under MS-DOS I often tire of the fact that almost every program or utility written for it displays a banner and copyright - some quite flamboyant, though that software usually doesn't last more than two minutes on the disk ... :-) One copyright notice on bootup is quite sufficient thanks. I see no need to have wordy copyright strings displayed every time a login succeds. -- David Nugent Unique Computing Pty Limited Communications/PC/Unix Consulting 3:632/348@fidonet 28:4100/1@signet Internet/ACSnet: david@csource.oz.au Uucp: ..!uunet!munnari!csource!david

Any amount of copyright notices and whatnot on bootup is fine with me. It's just that I want the sigon before the login to reference the system I developed on top of the OS, not the OS.
