¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDave, Our old Honeywell System had a FORTRAN (or could have been ¡°B¡± but I think it was pre B) program that did this. I wonder where I put the message file. I used to have a copy somewhere¡ ¡ it had some gems¡ any UK readers may (or may not) agree with¡.? .. e.g. ? ¡°A pleasant view of Swindon , as seen through your rearview mirror¡± ? Or that great line from Betjeman, ? ¡°come friendly bomb and fall on Slough¡± ? Dave ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Dave Trainor

The ¡°fortune cookie¡± thing that Volker has is more or less exactly what I am asking about.? I built my system from scratch (if you can it that) following Jay Mosley¡¯s excellent instructions and learned quite a bit in doing so rather than booting a pre made system.? But am a novice without a doubt. So a CLIST sounds like the ticket, is the ¡°fortune cookie¡± code available? Or something similar?? Most of the time in the Unix world I lived in so many years, I found scripts that sorta did what I wanted and then modified them rather that start with a clean sheet of coding paper.? Teaches a lot about others logic doing that too. ? Thanks, Dave ? From: <[email protected]> on behalf of Joe Monk <joemonk64@...> ? This wouldve?been a CLIST executed as part of your logon PROC. ?
