There's a story that Ralph Griswold harbored a contempt for some security practices. Accordingly, he distributed SNOBOL4 on tapes on reels with red flanges, imagining with delight some recipients' shock at opening the packages and being required to call security officers to have them investigated. An employer long ago delivered a software product that issued a message on startup proclaiming that it contained the vendor's trade "Secret". We rapidly learned that in some customer environments "secret" is deemed NSFW. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
