Hmm, setterm is distributed on countless Slackware CD-ROMs at least... Aren't we too paranoid about copyrights? Now that I have read the source, it says that the "conditions of use, modification and redistribution are contained in the file COPYRIGHT that forms part of this distribution" but I can't find this file anywhere. Has anyone tried to contact the author (Gordon Irlam [EMAIL PROTECTED]) about this? From a quick test using EXPN it seems that his e-mail address is probably still valid even though setterm was written in 1990... Marek
