I don't remember if we do it, but it would be trivial to send a clear screen and a "you've been terminated" message to the tty to let the user know. That's the fast way. Since it's for the gub-ment I could compile it into a 5 or 6MB executable and price it at about $100,000. :) Good luck, __________________________________________________________________ | Clem Akins Standard Disclaimers Apply | |Reynolds Metals Co, Alloys Plant "Climb High, Cave Deep!" | | Muscle Shoals, Alabama USA cwakins@leia.alloys.rmc.com | |________________________________________________________________|
