- Performing the modification as David suggests will probably work, but
- you will confuse the hell out of anyone who has to later deal with the
- ad/eiad drivers, and you will definitely confuse the various

- If those were the exact instructions from the issue of SCO Magazine
- (i.e., you had the magazine sitting next to you while you typed in the
- instructions, instead of reconstructing them from memory), then I
- would write a nasty letter to the editors of SCO Magazine. This is
- *not* the way the ID subsystem is supposed to work.
