Thanks
Much appreciated. That should give me enough ammo to fire randomly into the root directory for awhile.
OS X is far too stable. I've been using it for over a year, now, and I still haven't been able to crash it. If I can't blow it up by noodling around in Unix, my self-esteem will be ruined.
Happy Saturday,
F.O.G.

tartdates(5) LinuxTaRT Special Dates tartdates(5)
NAME
tartdates - Special date configuration for LinuxTaRT
DESCRIPTION
LinuxTaRT uses a configuration file called specialdates to enable the user to display a specific tagline on certain special dates. The name
and location of this file is specified in the LinuxTaRT configuration file ~/.tartrc, but is usually:
~/.tartdates
PARAMETERS
Each line of the special date file consists of a day of the year expressed as a two digit month, a forward-slash (/), a two digit date, a
colon (:) and a line of text.
mm/dd:tagline text
Any line that does not conform to this specification will be treated as a comment. Comments may also be specified by prefixing text with a
# symbol. Using this method, you can place a comment behind a date line.
EXAMPLES
01/01:Happy New Year!!
Will use "Happy New Year!!" as the tagline when the date is January 1st.
12/25:Merry Christmas to all!
Displays "Merry Christmas to all!" as your tagline on Christmas day.
