Re: Proprietary Banner

[Glenn Gundermann <ggundermann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Subba,

I put something in the users initial program.  It checks a data area to see if
the flag is on indicating a system wide message.  If on, it will display a
screen
of the information retrieved from the data area.  It then proceeds to rest of
program.

The system operators can set this flag on and off and are responsible to
change
the text.  Normally used to notify the users of a planned shut down.
