Just include a startupscreen file in the system folder. This is exactly what a clever person did. SuperPaint lets you create these automatically. I would think it was rather clever if I hadn't spent the day wringing my hands. The worst casualty of the virus epidemic may not be lost data, but our senses of humor. - -- Peter Wayner Department of Computer Science Cornell Univ.
