The only part that is not readable on 24 lines terminals is the copyright part, that nobody reads anyway (actually, I'm not sure anybody reads the current splash buffer at all). Moreover, when using the Sun workshop stuff, the /current/ splash buffer turns out to be more than 24 lines, and hides essential stuff like the HELP key bindings which is worse. Is it really too big a sacrifice to hide 4 useless lines of copyright compared to the improvement in readability ? -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T.
