But Reggie, once you licensed it you could do what you wish, maybe? Who's to say, if there was a big demand maybe they'd hire old Joachim away to put the fear of God in the licensees. Anyway, Compaq didn't take out the LAN code, they just removed the silly ICON. Like I said, take it up with Donahoe and the others deriding the contempt settlement. Cheers, Dan.

Reg - You cannot order the SGI OS with its WAN code removed as "an option" Sure you can. In addition, if it's installed, and you don't want it to be, start swmgr as root, select 'Manage Installed Software', click the radio buttons next to 'IP Network Gateway Support', 'Internet Gateway Software Environment, 3.0', and go to town. BTW, you can also remove Netscape this way. Plus, the selected applications are actually removed and you cannot order it with the GUI customized to your liking, ie. remving the IE icon. Baloney. You can run whatever window manager you want, and change icons until you're blue in the face. The rigid, uncustomisable paradigm of PC systems is totally alien in a Unix environment. There are no icons in Irix that you can't delete, change, or swap the application out from underneath of. -justinb
