  This reminds me of something my brother did years ago...  he wanted to use
a real neat "hello" program on all his school Apple disks (a really nice menu)
but since it was copyrighted he figured the teacher would give him problems.
So he used a disk zap program, and went in and changed the message at the top
of the screen from "XYZ SUPER MENU... COPYRIGHT 1981 BY XYZ SYSTEMS" to
"GALACTIC MENU -- PUBLIC DOMAIN".
  If you want to feel clean, then kill the disk.  (Let he who has not sinned,
cast the first stone.....)
