- A joke for VMS-users
- --------------------
- by Ralph 124C41+ of PowerDrive
-
-
- This is a little practical joke we have used a few times at my school when
- somebody forgot to log out (a quite common thing among pupils who aren't
- too experienced with computers). I think it could be quite fun for you to
- try it out if you have the possibility to do so.
-
- What it does is in short, is that it redefines almost every command to run
- a COM-file. What you put in that file is up to you. In this example we simply
- write the message "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that", but you can
- change it as much as your imagination allow. A good idea is to have
-
- $ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$MESS(%X <number>)
-
- where <number> is a number. This writes a system error message, this is good
- fun and can keep an inexperienced user in confusion for a very long time. Even
- teachers have been fooled by this. Some good numbers to try is 360, 350, 290,
- 230 and 120. A nasty one is 0, which means that the program exited without an
- error. That's *very* confusing! He he he...
-
- Anyway, here come the files, just cut where marked and there shouldn't be a
- problem. The first file is to replace LOGIN.COM and the you should name the
- second LOG1.COM. If you want to be more advanced, you can have several files to
- produce different messages. The LOGIN.COM redefines the most common commands on
- our system, yours will probably be different but it's a good start.
-
-
- ---------------------------------< CUT HERE >-----------------------------------
- $! LOGIN.COM for VMS joke.

-
- Here follows the file that is the actual joke. If you don't like this you can
- change it to do whatever you like but I think this is good fun, at least if you
- have seen 2001...
-
- ---------------------------------< CUT HERE >-----------------------------------
- $! LOG1.COM
- $
- $ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT ""
- $ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT " I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
- $ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT ""
- $ EXIT
- ---------------------------------< CUT HERE >-----------------------------------
-
- One problem is how you are going to copy the files from your account to the
- one you are about to joke with. One idea would be to
-
- $SET PROT=(W:RWED) <user>.DIR
-
- or perhaps use the ACL and then copy the files over. But this is not a very
- good idea, it can be traced and that's not what we want! It's much better to
- mail it, like this (from your account)
-
- $MAIL LOG.COM <user>
- $MAIL LOG1.COM <user>
-
- Then the files will be mailed to the user so you just can enter mail, read the
- message and
-
- Mail>EXTRACT LOGIN.COM
- Mail>DELETE
-
- It's important to delete the message because otherwise it's quite obvious who
- pulled the joke. Then you just edit the files to remove the header, remember to
- PURGE and everything is set.
-
- And that's about it. Have a fun life and remember: keep cool, if you can't be
- cool, be cold.
