Welcome is a simple application which allows you to edit
the ÒWelcome to Macintosh.Ó message that is displayed when
the Mac boots.
Welcome is copyrighted, but free for non-commercial distribution
and use. It may not be sold without the author's consent. Welcome
comes with no warranty, use it at your own risk.
Welcome offers you a standard dialog box with the current boot
message and allows you to edit it. Some important points:
1. You can't place special characters (e.g. tabs or returns)
in the text.
2. The text won't be word wrapped at boot time.
3. You can force the message to begin a new line by
placing a slash Ô/Õ in the message. The slash won't be
displayed.
Welcome edits the boot message from the currently open System
file. Some virus detection programs might complain about Welcome's
actions, if so you'll have to turn them off. GateKeeper and Disinfectant
Init have no problem with Welcome (i.e. there is no need to turn either
of these off before running Welcome). To edit the message on another
disk you will have to first restart with that disk.
If your boot message get corrupted, you can replace it completely
by using ResEdit to copy the DSAT 0 resource from an original system
disk.
Bug reports, suggestions or any other comments should be sent (via
