| Still back in last year's note. I haven't done anything more with
the source I had, it wasn't "real". If you change the .FACILITY
statement for the system messages back to match the ones in the
source listing, and really put this in SYSMSG.EXE, I believe it
should actually work.
BTW, another idea. Anyone changed the SYSGTTSTR.MSG to say anything
interesting other that * INTERRUPT * , etc.? I'd like * OUCH * or
something like that on the big day.
Just another day to me.

| Earlier versions of VMS came with a nice text library with all the message
module sources in them, didn't they? I know we used to have one around here
somewhere. I sure miss it . . .

| I generated an alternate VT100 character rom that displayed the
mirror image of normal characters when the right escape sequence
was forced to the terminal.
Anyone got the time to whip up an april fool's font for workstations?

The exit/interrupt/cancel messages *can* be changed, although
it's not trivial, and it can only be done on a system-wide
basis (edit SYS$EXAMPLES:SYSGTTSTR.MSG, compile, link, and
use SYSGEN TERMINAL/ECHO command). Back when I was system
managing a production system for VAX-11 RSX, I once changed
^Y to "Ouch, that hurts" for April Fools... The example
file gives full instructions on how to use it.

re: .7
Now I'm really puzzled. I edited SYSGTTSTR.MSG, MESSAGEd it, LINKed
it, SET it, SYSGEN TEMINAL/ECHOed, and lo and behold, no change.
Not that it's important (to me) now anyway, but anyone got any ideas?
I'm running VMS 4.5A.

| re: .-1
Funny we don't have that problem. Did you get *any* errors anywhere?
Also did you change all of the messages or just the top three?
Interesting how the syntax of that operation is so obscure. Since
when does SYSGEN take something that is mapped into a process
control region and make it system-wide? Odd.

| SHOWMESSA from the STC will convert SYS$MESSAGE:SYSMSG.EXE into
something remarkably similar to a .MSG source file.
