I suspect that it might be very well be a corruption of the story about Randy Cook's easter egg in TRS-DOS, that showed up in NewDOS prior to NEWDOS80. That one really DID exist. RS, in TRS-DOS 2.3, changed "Randy Cook" in the easter egg to "Tandy Corp". It was invoked by running a boot file as if it were a program, with one of the master paswords, and pressing 'J'? and 'N'? while it was loading. -- Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin at xenosoft.com ------------------------------ That's funny, because the first time I heard the story a few years back, it was a lawsuit between AT&T and SCO over the rights to unix. (Or was it MicroSoft and Xenix...???) Should this discussion be moved to the urban legend mailing list? --T Jam the computer...trash every lethal machine in the land! -- Timothy Leary
