Subject: Running .OBJ files under ZCPR3

Hi, Ron,

       Yes, I do have a suggestion on this.  I have a special login
program that runs under ZCPR3 which identifies the user as a wheel as
a result of his login.  At this point, it leaves a message saying that
the user is a wheel or not and sets or resets the Wheel byte.  LOGIN
is run from a startup alias, and the command after it is an IF that
does one thing if the user is priveleged and another if he is not.  If
he is priveleged, it sets his path to one thing.  If he is not, the
user gets a different path.  Once the STARTUP alias ends, the non-priv
user is in one directory (which cannot access the PATH command) and
the priv user is in another (which can run anything).  If I have time,
LOGIN will be cleaned up and released with Phase 2 ... if not, it will
be released later.  In either case, this concept will be documented in
the book.  In that way, there is no need to have OBJ files versus COM
files around.

       Rick
