- I have no info on the first question. (Other than I am keeping those items
- that interest me.)
-
- For the second: I did not see the original posting, but I accomplished
- hidden entry on a DOS system by simply specifying COLOR=BLUE for the password
- field within my login form, so that the color used matched the background
- color specified by DBCOLOR, in my case BLUE. I have not tried this technique
- under UNIX, but do not see why it shouldn't work.
-
- If someone wants a copy of this rather straight-forward code, mail me direct
- and I will send the code in reply.
