And you thought I was posting such a patch?  Sorry, but I am in dire need to
something to disable the initial banner on MS-DOS dBase ]I[ + version 1.0 . 
If I were a MS-DOS "debug" expert (is that a contradiction in terms?) I could 
figure out the code and overlays that dBase uses . . . but I don't profess
to be such!

Please no flames about what a nasty person you think I am for even thinking
of such a dastardly deed.  I have already evaluated the pros and cons, thank
you :*) .  Please send all responses (and me-toos) to me e-mail.

P.S. to Ashton-Tate :
Boy would it be great to know the "undocumented(?)" command line switch that
you developers use for this very purpose!  (see MSC compiler for definition
of "undocumented"...)

THANKSINADVANCE!
