- well for someone who spent a couple of hundred lines telling me how
- atrocious my correspondence skill are, I'd have to say that "Aiiieee!"
- ranks right up there with AIN'T ...

- yes, the instructions ARE directly out of SCO magazine, which frequently
- publishes instructions straight from SCO technical support ...
- (but nice try at the cheap shot tho, you're getting better with each try)
- HOWEVER --- (and I direct this to the fellow who first asked the question,
- and any others who might ask questions in the future) don't trust ME or
- ANYONE on the net - check it out for yourself!!! Call SCO or get SCO
- magazine and verify it ... (repeated for those of you who failed to read
- the same line in my original post)
- so how about it Marc, again I'll challenge you, give SCO a call and ask
- them what they suggest for making the change ... and then post the response
- you get ...
-
- as for this not being the BEST way to do it, we could argue that till the
- cows come home and it won't accomplish anything ... but I am interested in
- learning the views of some of the more experienced folks out there,
- (Chip Rosenthal, Bill Davidsen, JP Radley, Bill Campbell, and all the
- others out there I might have missed, but whose expertise, knowledge, and
- wisdom I value and respect so greatly :-) )
- so how about it guys, what do you think about this? if this is wrong or
- just not the best way to do the job, I do want to learn about it ...
- (what Marc said doesn't make sense to me, because anyone who knows the
- system would know that eiad is just the enhanced mode of the ad driver, so
- I see no confusion there, but I'm open to discussion on it)
-

-
- again, I would ask you to show us the credentials and vast experience that
- would give your statements an ounce of credence ... I'm not saying that you
- can't possibly be correct, I'm saying offer more information and stop with
- the bullsh*t opinions ...

-
- well your .sig sure gives us some insight into YOUR computing philosophies
- tell me, you would happen to be a college student would you?
- (sorry, couldn't resist >:-\)
