I was reading this article, and I got an easy solution: Very similar to the above: Create a file called whatever you want shown, say you want to be shown using my_prog. Make a file called my_prog and in it put this: rlogin machine.com Now, back at the shell prompt, type chmod u+x my_prog. Then, type my_prog at the prompt and you're on your way. I don't think this will work under BSDI, I can check if you really want me to, but I know it works under Linux. I am not really casting flames here, but this really belongs in alt.2600 or alt.hacker. *Not* alt.hackers. This group is about *hacking*. Read these posts and then compare them to some of the golden hacks of yore (supplied on request). Most notable recent hacks have been by thomas@bitrot.in-berlin.de and khorton@tech.iupui.edu. ObHack (mundane, but ...): I had a vacuum cleaner that started to make a rather nasty noise bearing wise. After opening the beast, I discovered that the top bearing could be replaced, but the bottom bearing was fixed. So, out with the drill and several moments later the rivets are gone and the bearing is out. Now came the problem of putting the new bearing in: the rivets were rather special weren't they? Not really enough room for a nut and bolt either. Not even a pop-rivet (though at the time I didn't have a pop-rivet gun. Moving parts doncha know. Out comes the bolt cutters and a bag of nails ... (you can see where this is leading can't you?). Nip the ends off the nails so that when assembled only a few millimetres extends beyond the end of the assembly. Then place the head of the nail against a *very* firm, flat, relatively incompressible surface and hit the nipped end of the nail a few times (squarely) to flatten out another head. Makes a dandy little rivet. Oh, the vacuum cleaner? T'was the bottom bearing that went. Now I have a replacement vacuum cleaner and two reasonably good bearings just waiting for a project. -- ___________________________________________________________________ Randall Gray gray@ml.csiro.au CSIRO Division of Fisheries
