- From the the 4.0 release notes (page 13 in mine, which is the 4.0.1 update
- version):
-
- "....Type:
-
- begin
-
- followed by the <Enter> key. This loads build, the COHERENT installation
- program into memory and begins execution. As build is loaded, you will be
- entertained by a spinning character, and an occasional "subliminal"
- message urging you to purchase COHware."
-
- I love this, there are a few other tidbits like this throughout the manual
- (including some new ones with 4.0). Nice to know some people still have a
- sense of humour!
