While I am unaware of a case where the matrix would not be rendered properly, t he edge case presumably exists where a user is on a terminal like VT100 or eve n using some antiquated hardware to really re-live the experience. I wondered w hat would happen in those cases, since the documentation for DDLoginMatrix s tat es that if it could not use the matrix, it would fall back to the answer.ms g fi le, which if memory serves, is why it has to be included as a command-line argu ment. If there are no edge cases left, then truly clearing answer.msg is the r ight option. I'm jus new enough to the scene to not know for certain. It seems that wrapping answer.msg in @!ANSI@ prevents its display as well, but I don't have an actual edge case to verify it with. One way or the other gets the same result. Certainly mean no offense. I prefer implementing solutions over solv ing symptoms, as I presume you do as well. I simply have all day and all night to focus on one tiny aspect of the BBS that almost nobody else has. Overall g oal is the same, to enhance the UX. Don't worry about it, I got som ething that I think works, you have something you know works. :) Once I've l earned [the hard way, presumably], I'll switch over to the way that really wor ks. I posed the I have.
