Okay, Never mind my second reply, it just dawned on me any other changes
would be overwritten every reboot.  I've got an executable I wrote that
takes as a command line parameter the text file and text you want to search
for and deletes the whole line.  It would be easy enough to add a third
parameter for a replacement line.  I'll have the C source and DOS
executable available from my webpage soon.  I'll mail the list for anyone
interested in using it.

In librarianship--as elsewhere--the quality of service is not measured by
the number of complaints received
