Message-ID: <1206@elsie.UUCP> Date: Thu, 13-Sep-84 13:17:05 EDT Article-I.D.: elsie.1206 Posted: Thu Sep 13 13:17:05 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 15-Sep-84 07:45:04 EDT Organization: NIH-LEC, Bethesda, MD Lines: 14 We've got many different ilks of terminals hooked to our VAX 11/750 running 4.1 bsd. We've got some folks who like light letters on dark backgrounds, and some folks who like dark letters on light backgrounds. Folks also have different druthers on smooth scrolling and other things. And folks use different terminals at different times. Now one way to give folks their druthers is to put lines like tset -mbrandx:brandx-bonw -mbrandy:brandy-bonw -mbrandz:brandz-bonw ... in login files. Does anyone out there have a pithier way? -- ...decvax!seismo!umcp-cs!elsie!ado (301) 496-5688 (DEC, VAX and Elsie are Digital Equipment Corp. and Borden's trademarks)
