You can do that in VMS, and there is this classic april fools message file that I wouldn't be surprised if it holds that fish message... To my knowledge, no - whatever ships with 8.3 is what is there, although I'm not sure how to tell. However, at $previous_job where they ran OpenVMS in production and I had access to DCL, the DS15 ran 8.3 and that is where I originally discovered this easter egg. I can't believe they would have had anything other than the standard message file. Fred
